News from the President's Office
Here are the highlighted issues for this week:
NMC’s Progress Report to Accrediting Commission Accepted
Northern Marianas College has been informed that its accrediting body accepted the institution’s Progress Report of October 2005 and the report of the evaluation team that visited NMC on November 15 and 16, 2005. NMC President Tony Guerrero received notification of the action via an official letter from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), which stated that the action was taken during the Commission’s meeting on January 11-13, 2006.
The evaluation team report has been distributed this week to the entire college community on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. In it, the team’s report concluded, “The College is making the kinds of progress envisioned by the Commission for building institutional capacity to use data for decision-making.” Copies of the report are available at http://courses.nmcnet.edu/course/view.php?id=51 and at Olympio T. Borja Memorial Library. For more information about NMC’s accreditation status and activities, contact Jeanette Villagomez, Dean of Student Development and Accreditation Liaison Officer, at 234-5498, ext. 1347.
The Commission’s action letter also reminded President Guerrero that the next comprehensive evaluation of NMC would occur during Fall 2006. A team at NMC under the leadership of Dr. Debra Cabrera, social science instructor, and Danny Wyatt, Dean of Academic Programs and Services, has been working diligently for the past year at preparing an institutional self study in preparation for that visit.
25th Anniversary of NMC: A Quarter Century of Postsecondary Education Excellence
The College is sponsoring a public forum on the 10th of March, which will commemorate the signing of the Executive Order No. 25 by former Governor Carlos S. Camacho on the 12th of March 1981, and is the legal basis for the establishment of the Northern Marianas College as the Commonwealth’s first Postsecondary Institution. This event will include an array of speakers who have contributed to the successful goals and accomplishments of our institution through their respective contributions including representatives of the following organizations: U.S. Department of Interior, Western Association of School & Colleges, NMC Board of Regents, current NMC Student Body Representative, the NMC Foundation, and Governor Benigno Fitial who will be issuing a proclamation acknowledging this auspicious occasion.
Our NMC community is encouraged to support this event, in recognition of our Silver Anniversary.

Treadmills donated to NMC's Physical and Health Education Gym
Our NMC's Physical and Health Education gym received two Precor model treadmills donated by Kaye Christian. These state-of-the-art treadmills are capable of being programmed to keep track of one’s distance, speed, heart rate, the number of calories expended and much more. For “first time users” an NMC employee needs to contact gym personnel to help in setting up the equipment, after that just let them know you are using it and you can exercise to your heart’s content. So if you run across Kaye Christian, please tell her again, thank you for her generosity.
