Most young adults come face to face with a whole new world of freedom after graduating high school. Freedom to go to college, enter the workforce, to move out and begin making some of the most influential decisions of their lives. This freedom can be liberating, yet intimidating. Many people feel lost and overwhelmed trying to decide where they want to take their lives next, which is completely normal in such pivotal transitional periods. This feeling resonates heavily with many college students, including NMC’s student body.

Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) is in trouble. The hurdles the college faces are economic, academic and social. Perhaps

even existential. As reported previously in the White Pine Press, NMC is engaged in an ongoing effort to create a new master plan for the school, which could include renovating and expanding its facilities through a redesign of the main campus. These proposals—which include the construction of a new dormitory and apartments, renovation of the Osterlin building, and the consolidation of University Center partner programs onto the main campus—should not be taken lightly. They have real implications for the future of the campus with regard to its logistical function, economic sustainability, and collegiate identity.
