Faculty News & Notes
Tawni Ferrarini (Economics) has been named Sam M. Cohodas Scholar for economic development in the Upper Peninsula. She will work with the campus community and regional organizations to research economic activity for others to use to develop plans for enhancing the U.P. economy. "My professional passion and my personal love for the area made me want to pursue this assignment," said Ferrarini, whose teaching load will be reduced so that she can focus on her new role. "There is so much potential for growth here. My number one job this semester will be to listen to organizations such as Michigan Works, the U.P. Economic Development Authority, Operation Action U.P. and others interested in economic vitality across the region." Ferrarini joined the NMU faculty in 1998 and has served as the director of its Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship since 2000.
