Northern Michigan University

 Northern Michigan University 's  mission statement  declares that "our purpose is to foster close connections between learners, leaders, communities, and the natural environment in order to nurture and inspire creative problem solvers, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens dedicated to promoting the health and vitality of the Upper Peninsula, Michigan, and beyond."

NMU's  Sustainability Hub  is working toward fostering those connections in many ways, explore this  timeline  and  interactive map  or take a walk across campus to see for yourself.

"Wellbeing of people, places, and the planet are interconnected and integral to NMU's educational mission. Embracing the Okanagan Charter and its Calls to Action, along with our commitment to honor and nurture the role of Indigenous perspectives and peoples locally and globally, will ensure all Wildcats the opportunity to thrive professionally and personally."
