NMU is a Proud Sponsor of the Meijer State Games in Michigan

Why? Because here at Northern Michigan University, winter is in our DNA!

Snowshoe up a mountain to see a waterfall - yes please! 

Play a round of pond hockey after class - sounds fun! 

Take a ride on the trails with a fat tire bike - let's do it! 

NMU students are always up for an adventure in the snow.
