New Markets, New Supports

Grow and support our student body by identifying new markets, developing new academic offerings, and supporting our students’ mental and physical health.

NMU recognizes the necessity for highly effective recruitment and retention programming. Demographic and other external factors will create strains on enrollment and resources in the coming decade. In order to plan for these challenges, significant investments in enrollment and student success strategies are needed to lead us into the future in a strong position to serve our students effectively.
