“I believe in reciprocity, and the power of education. If there are ten people who can give a little at a time, this small gesture will add up and make a difference in a student’s life. This is why I give to NMC. Because it makes a difference.”
How did you get to NMC from Belarus?
My family moved to Florida from Belarus when I was 20. I wanted to go somewhere different for college and was drawn to Michigan given the abundance of water. NMC became the perfect fit as it is positioned directly on Grand Traverse Bay.
What’s your NMC story?
My time at NMC was very positive. What a wonderful community of caring people! The abundance of outdoor opportunities to hike, enjoy the water, and enjoy the culture downtown were definitely complimentary pieces to academics at NMC. Faculty and staff cared deeply about my academic success and I was able to make long-lasting friendships. The faculty taught me to love learning and care about the local community.

Kevin Stotts enrolled at NMC in the early 1990’s and the decision was very easy. He attended three different high schools by the time he began his senior year in Traverse City and wasn’t thrilled with the idea of moving again. He was also unsure of what he wanted to study in college but knew he had a passion for history and politics. The tuition at NMC was affordable and he felt that he could further explore his academic interests and hopefully save a little money before transferring to complete his bachelor’s degree.
Kevin noted that the faculty at NMC were outstanding, but two in particular stood out – Al Shumsky and Stephen Siciliano. “I wasn’t a great writer when I entered college and Professor Shumsky was a tough but compassionate critic who helped me immensely. Dr. Siciliano had this amazing way of teaching history through stories and he fueled my love of the subject that continues today.”
