Superior Edge
Superior Edge is a student development program at Northern Michigan University that provides students with the opportunity to combine in- and out-of-the-classroom experiences in a way that will provide them with an edge with employers or graduate school admissions counselors. Superior Edge was developed as a university-wide initiative by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students. Superior Edge develops citizen-leaders for the 21st century.

Pick One
Get Involved. Earn Points. Get Rewarded.
Pick One is a promotion that encourages all students to build connections, gain friendships and get involved with the campus community so they can find at least ONE thing that gives them a sense of belonging at NMU. When students attend events (tagged Pick One), they scan a QR code to earn Pick One Points. The more points students earn, the more prizes they can win!
