From the very first time that I stepped on campus I was instantly taken in by the atmosphere, I felt at home and everyone was very inviting.

I have always wanted to be in the medical field, surgical technology seemed to me as a great option to get into the field right after college while still being able to make it into the operating room and assisting in surgeries.

Watching live surgeries has helped me get into a very real mindset of what I will be seeing and dealing with in my future career

I am a diver on the NMU swim and dive team and am part of the surgical technology club. After my first dive meet I felt proud of myself for making it to the collegiate level and being able to move forward in my career as a diver.
 

To me, "Be Northern" means being able to attend a school that is surrounded by unique outdoor experiences that are unlike anywhere else in the world along with having so many class options taught by amazing professors.

My experience here in the UP and at NMU have given me so many opportunities to try new things and step out of my comfort zone as well as being surrounded by other students with similar passions.
