Meetings are currently held every other Monday night at 7 pm in room 1613/1615 West Science. If interested, email SNA@nmu.edu or or Instagram page at NMU Student Nurses Association. We welcome all nursing and pre-nursing students.

We strive to cultivate a welcoming environment centered around a mutual love for the art of chemistry or a hatred for the scourge that is chemistry. Wherever one finds themselves whether it be failing a class they wish they never took or geeking out on molecular orbital theory and computational chemistry. We believe spreading knowledge is all science is about and want to create an environment that is less formal than tutoring but just as, or possibly even more, educational than a tutor. We are currently in Organic Chemistry II and are willing to share some useful resources we've found that have helped us in class. Anyone at any level of chemistry is welcome!

The Wildcat Marching Band- The Pride of the North is a great ensemble to be a part of when you are first getting to know NMU or renewing old friendships. Where else can you earn college credit for having fun? A typical marching season includes five home football games and selected campus activities. We want to emphasize, however, that marching band at the university level generally takes less time than in high school. Our activities are carefully planned so the total time involved is not a strain on most students' academic schedules. We look for musicians for woodwind, percussion, and brass sections, as well as individuals interested in participating in the color guard. The Wildcat Marching Band is open to all university students regardless of their major. For more information, email emilnels@nmu.edu or sgrugin@nmu.edu.
