Students in Winter

There is an abundance of activities on NMU's campus and in the community during the winter. Presque Isle, pictured above, is just over a mile from campus and is the beautiful site of the 25th annual Glacier Glide Outdoor Art Exhibit this weekend. The U.P. 200 Sled Dog race events begin February 13 with the exciting race starting in downtown Marquette on Friday night. NMU's WinterFest "Chilly Nights and Carnival Lights" runs February 15-24. Plus there is always downhill skiing or snowboarding at the nearby Marquette Mountain. Make plans to attend NMU this year by starting your application process now.
