Counselor Visit Weekend at NMU

Please watch this page for the 2010/2011 Counselor Visit Weekend dates. We are tentatively planning the event for February 2011.

Counselor Visit Weekends at Northern Michigan University are planned especially for high school counselors (who work with juniors and/or seniors) and community college counselors. This event takes place on NMU's campus on the shoreline of Lake Superior in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. A visit to our campus during the winter is guaranteed to show you why they call Michigan a winter wonderland.

Students on a break from class

Past weekend's activities have included:

  • round trip transportation via coach - one for Lower Michigan; one for Minnesota; and one for Illinois and Wisconsin
  • lodging for three nights at the Landmark Inn
  • all scheduled meals while on campus
  • several social activities including:
  • meetings with faculty and staff members from a variety of areas
  • optional graduate credit hours available
  • most importantly, you will have the opportunity to meet and talk with current NMU students

NMU admissions counselors will be onboard each bus to act as escorts and answer any questions you may have en route. Participation in the visitation weekend (all of the above activities, lodging, and on-campus meals) is at no charge to you. NOTE: Sorry, but we will not be able to accommodate spouses or other family members for this trip.
