Join District Staff, Chris and Alison, as they work to re-move overgrowth and brush from the nursery area. Over the years, trees and shrubs have started succeeding into the nursery area where we harvest the beachgrass for shoreline preservation projects. Due to COVID restrictions limiting field trips for students (our harvesting volunteers), we are using this time to give the nursery a break from harvesting and do some much-needed maintenance to our natural area. Let us know if you can help! 231-582-6193.

Gronk is my new name, but not my disposition. I am a bit leery of people at first, but sweet and loyal with a bit of time. I recently lost part of my tail because I never stop wagging it and beat the end of it to a pulp. I may have suffered some frostbite as well, so be aware that I much prefer to be inside when it's nasty. Give me a chance to get to know you, I am a good guy. Gronk appears to avoid conflict with other dogs but is certainly interested in the playful interactions. Gronk is a big boy so probably not the best fit for a family with very young children.

North Central Formally Adopts The Timberwolf as New Mascot |
|
During an April 27 meeting, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously in favor of the mascot that students said best represents the college: The North Central Timberwolf.
President David Roland Finley said the Timberwolf captures the spirit of the college and its students.
“Wolves embody many of the characteristics of North Central students, including intelligence, resilience, drive, focus and teamwork,” Finley said. “They are known for working together so that the whole pack succeeds. You’ll find the same attitude among our entire campus community.”
Carol Laenen, vice president of Marketing, said the adoption of the Timberwolf mascot follows a months-long, data-driven process that included two rounds of surveys, extensive sentiment analysis and tests of concept art. Visit their website HERE for more info!
