Post-election stress? Minnie Bardenhagen offers some strategies to combat it in our Nov. 14 edition of the White Pine Press, the award-winning, student-run newspaper at Northwestern Michigan College. (Illustration by Eli Stallman) Take a deep breath, it’s over. With Republicans taking historic national wins, and Democrats narrowly winning local elections, some are celebrating, some are devastated, some are worn out, and some are just happy the ads are finally gone. If you’re one of those worn out or devastated people, you are far from alone. For students, it is stressful to reckon with all these emotions in the midst of classes and upcoming exams. If you connect with that description, these strategies may be helpful for you.

Are students informed on local elections? Minnie Bardenhagen asks that question in our Nov. 14 edition of the White Pine Press, the award-winning, student-run newspaper at Northwestern Michigan College. The Nov. 5 ballot included the presidential and other candidates for federal office, as well as many local decisions that would impact the lives of students, one of these being the NMC Board of Trustees. The Board has huge implications for student life. They set the college’s goals, are in charge of decision making, and in many ways run the institution. They are the governing body of the college. The board approves yearly budgets, plans for maintenance and renovation, and they also make annual evaluations of NMC’s president. When students arrived to vote on Nov. 5, did they understand what the job the potential board members on the ballot were running for?

1.3 million microplastic particles found in the Boardman River, as reported by Anna Wildman in our Nov. 14 edition of the White Pine Press, the award-winning, student-run newspaper at Northwestern Michigan College. On Oct. 30, NMC biology professor Nick Roster spoke at a conference at NMC's Hagerty Center to summarize the current data from his research project on microplastics. While the research is still ongoing, he and his students have counted and processed the water samples from the first 11 months of the project. The purpose of the experiment is not just to test the concentration of microplastics in the Boardman River watershed, but to see if there’s a pattern of higher concentration in certain months or in certain areas of the river.

With only hours left to go before the polls close on election day, Michigan may well determine the outcome of the presidential election. With its 15 electoral votes, the swing state has been a frequent stop for each campaign. While much of the campaigning has been focused in Michigan’s downstate urban areas, neither the Trump nor Harris campaign wants to ignore Northern Michigan. Both campaigns have stopped several times in Traverse City to energize voters, each using a different approach.

On Oct. 28, First Lady Jill Biden and Gwen Walz, the wife of Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, paid a visit to the Traverse City Democratic Campaign Field Office to promote volunteer efforts for the Harris-Walz Campaign. It was a small gathering of mostly local canvassing volunteers and press where Biden and Walz were hoping to ignite the volunteer effort in the final days of election season. The Harris Campaign, in this small final stretch, is targeting undecided voters and eligible voters who may not show up to the polls.

Speaking Truth to Power. International Affairs Forum-Traverse City guest Khaled Elgindy reflects on attacks on Gaza, ceasefire negotiations, and the impact of students in this exclusive interview earlier this month with the White Pine Press, the award-winning student-run newspaper at Northwestern Michigan College. It has been over a year since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, followed by Israel's unrelenting war in Gaza, and deaths of more than 40,000 Palestinians. The answer to whether or not the boiling conflict in the Middle East can ever reduce to a simmer still seems far from reach.

New Northwestern Michigan College project aims to uncover hidden microplastics in local waters, writes Anna Wildman in our latest edition of the White Pine Press, NMC's award-winning, student-run newspaper. The Boardman River watershed is a large, high-traffic area that is popular for recreation. But data on the presence of microplastics in the Boardman was virtually non-existent before NMC biology instructor Dr. Nick Roster began a research project. With the help of students from his class, Roster is currently collecting and processing water samples from various sites in the Boardman watershed to examine them for microplastic contamination.

Most young adults come face to face with a whole new world of freedom after graduating high school. Freedom to go to college, enter the workforce, to move out and begin making some of the most influential decisions of their lives. This freedom can be liberating, yet intimidating. Many people feel lost and overwhelmed trying to decide where they want to take their lives next, which is completely normal in such pivotal transitional periods. This feeling resonates heavily with many college students, including NMC’s student body.
