Jonathan Hamilton - NMU Admissions

Fairbanks, Alaska

My career started at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce where I greatly enjoyed leading the public and governmental relations efforts. That quickly led to my dream job leading the corporate sales and marketing efforts at Michigan Tech Athletics. During those years at MTU, I also got heavily involved in pastoral college ministry at my local church in Dollar Bay, MI, which eventually led me to pursue a graduate seminary degree in Minneapolis. As I approached graduation, I heard about this admissions role opening up at NMU and jumped at the chance to get back into higher ed at a quality institution in a beautiful setting!

When talking to colleges, ask them what they do to help students get into internships, grad school, and future career opportunities.
