NMU's faculty-led Vienna Program is Northern's longest running and most popular study abroad opportunity.  2024 moves us into our third decade of going to Central Europe for month-long cultural immersion.

Are you studying Spanish and will have completed SN 202 or above by the end of this school year? Consider our Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program in Salamanca, Spain for Summer 2024! Salamanca is full of cultural activities, restaurants, museums, churches, and other neat things to see and do.

Students have three hours per day of small-group Spanish language classes, and an hour of class per day with an NMU Spanish professor -- all at the renowned Universidad de Salamanca, founded in 1218.

Afternoons and evenings are mostly free for exploring the city, hanging out with friends, drinking café con leche and enjoying the atmosphere. Former Salamanca FLSA participants have noted this experience to be at the top of their list of their undergraduate adventures here at Northern!

So ... have we piqued your curiosity? Join us for one of our three information sessions at 6:00 in 141 Whitman Hall.

A community discussion with panelists representing multiple perspectives. Led by Ashly Gleason, Health Education/Prevention Specialist with Marquette County Cares Coalition. Part of Two Books, Two Communities' 2023 community read Chevy in the Hole, by Kelsey Ronan, which features characters dealing with various forms of addiction.

Chevy in the Hole is described as a gorgeous and unflinching love letter to Flint and the resilience of its people. The novel follows August “Gus” Molloy after he moved back to his hometown to battle his issues with substance use, as well as stories from his and his friend's families woven throughout the narrative. The book was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and a 2023 Michigan Notable Book.

A Psalm for the Wild-Built is the first book in the Monk and Robot book series. The story takes place centuries into the future, years after the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools, leaving them wandering en masse. Eventually, the robots became nothing more than urban legend, until a tea monk's life was upended by a robot seeking to answer a question: “What do people need?” The book won the prestigious Hugo Award in 2022.

Academic

Kelsey Ronan will present and discuss her debut novel, Chevy in the Hole,  which was named a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice and a 2023 Michigan Notable Book. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Free event.

Looking beyond solemn statements and well-meant monuments, Professor Port will discuss the ways in which the Holocaust shaped German responses to modern-day genocides in other countries after 1945. He will also discuss how these foreign atrocities recast Germany’s understanding of its own horrific history. In addition to Port's remarks, three Northern Michigan University professors with expertise on this topic will serve as discussants:  Robbie Goodrich (History), Petra Hendrickson (Political Science & Public Administration), and Anna Zimmer (Languages, Literatures, and International Studies).
