CAMPUS REPAIRS and RENOVATIONS WELL UNDERWAY
Last month, our President received great news about the legislative and executive approval of our college’s ability to engage in a comm
ercial loan for the sum of $250,000. The Governor signed House Bill 15-222 into law (Public Law No. 15-58) authorizing NMC to secure a loan with its cash deposits to repair and renovate its dilapidated buildings and classrooms.
If you are passing by Building L (Procurement Bldg.), you will notice that they are ready to pour the cement for the second floor. Completing this project will offer considerable office and storage space for staff, equipment and files.
An updated list of critical projects that will be funded through this initial borrowing will be developed and shared with the college community. For more information on current projects, please contact Tomi Coleman at the Operations Office at 234-5498, ext. 1102.
NMC WELCOMES NEW MEMBER to the FAMILY
Originally from Indiana, Mr. Van Ho Rider moved to Saipan with his family to accept the position as Academic Librarian for NMC’s Olympio T. Borja Memorial Library.
The Library staff served breakfast and coffee on Tuesday (June 12th) at the HR Conference Room to welcome Mr. Rider and his family. In attendance were; President Carmen Fernandez, Dean Jeanette Villagomez, Dean Danny Wyatt, Acting Director f
or Human Resources Bobbie Hunter, NMC Archivist Mr. Herbert Del Rosario, staff members from the Library; Mr. Greg Sablan and Mr. Tony Goobaad. Other NMC staff members stopped by to greet and welcome Mr. Rider to our family. Welcome aboard the PROA, Mr. Rider!
While we are on the subject of the Library, have you taken advantage of their awesome, hi-tech services? Our College Library offers all researchers the following:
Horizon online catalog system
The latest technology offers students the ability to search the catalog from any computer on island that has an Internet connection (http://library.nmcnet.edu). In fact, they can manage their account by renewing books online, creating lists, and reserving books that are currently checked out.
Research Databases
In addition to the nearly 200
magazines and journals that NMC subscribes to, students have access to over 8,000 magazines and journals via 26 different online databases. For instance, nursing students can access health information and medical articles through Medline and Health Source. Likewise, English composition students can access Academic Search Premier and Newspaper Source for research papers.
Wireless Connection
In Fall of 2003, the college library was one of the first places in the CNMI to install a wireless network. There are laptops available for NMC students to use in the library. In addition, an increasing number of students use their own laptops to connect to the wireless network. Once online, students perform research, login to course websites, check email, and chat with classmates about upcoming assignments and student activities.
Community Membership
Although the Borja Memorial Library’s primary function is to serve NMC students, faculty and staff, the public is more than welcome to visit and do research. For book borrowing privileges, a community membership can be purchased for an annual fee of $35 per individual.
For more information on our College’s library services, please contact our Academic Librarian, Mr. Van Ho Rider, at extension 1123.
SOE DIRECTOR MEETS with OFFCIALS from SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Michael Reber, Director of the School of Education, visited his alma mater, Southeast Missouri State University (SE), to meet with officials in reviewing the SE-NMC Articulation Agreement and to meet with the MA TESOL (Teaching Englis
h to Speakers of Other Languages) Program about NMC hosting the SE program in the CNMI.
The meetings took place on Thursday, May 25 at the SE campus. The first meeting was with Dr. Irina Ustinova, faculty member of the MA TESOL Program. Dr. Reber and Dr. Ustinova explored ways in which SE can offer courses in TESOL certification that lead toward an MA in TESOL for CNMI teachers and individuals interested in teaching ESL. SE is able to teach its courses on-line with cohorts. One idea was to explore offering blended courses in which 80% of a course would be taught on-line and the other 20% (approx. two weeks) be taught on-site in Saipan. The purpose for the blended learning is so that SE can better understand the ESL needs of the CNMI and can tailor courses to address those needs.
The second meeting was with Dr. David Starrett, Dean of the University Studies Program. The outcomes were as follows:
1. Both parties agreed to review the clause regarding the need of having “five or more students per year” because of the economic situation in the CNMI. SE would like to do all it can to foster a healthy working relationship with NMC and is open to discussing this section of the agreement.
2. SE will work this summer on going over the NMC-SE Course Articulation Matrix and will get back to NMC by September.
3. NMC students who transfer to SE will be able to avail themselves to the same scholarship opportunities as other transferring students, except for those scholarships limited to freshmen.
4. NMC students who transfer to SE will be required to comply with SE’s transferring policy, especially the section regarding students meeting the ACT and/or SAT score admission requirements of the university.
5. NMC and SE will explore creating a sister university agreement for student and faculty exchange.
6. SE officials will be invited to come to NMC for an official signing ceremony once the articulation and sister university agreements are finalized.
Finally, Dr. Reber attended a reception and signing ceremony at SE’s new River Campus where the Governor of Missouri signed into law his Lewis and Clark Discovery Initiative. The landmark higher education package will increase scholarship funding from $27 million to $72 million and boost funding for campus facilities by $335 million, all without a tax increase. This will be a great benefit for NMC students who transfer to SE pursuing a career in the visual and performing arts because the River Campus is now the state’s largest visual and performing arts campus.

Lynn wants to pursue a career in Medicine. “I always wanted to be a pediatrician or a nurse.” Maintaining good grades in her high school studies and having high expectations in doing her very best are two most important things for Lynn, but she still finds time to enjoy the companionship of her friends and family.
Lynn is also a participant of the Northern Marianas College Upward Bound Program.
UPWARD BOUND STUDENT ATTENDS NATIONAL STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONGRESS
Ms. Jemilyn D. Arriola, a sophomore at Marianas High School, along with other TRIO students from the Classes of 2008, 2009, and 2010 served as delegates at the 18th Annual National Student Leadership Congress that was held in Washington, D.C. from June 9-14, 2007.
