MARQUETTE, MI-- Northern Michigan University has launched an effort to help local businesses affected by the COVID-1 pandemic.
#WildcatsMeanBusiness is a campaign that encourages the NMU and Marquette community to help businesses that support Northern events and programming, as well as NMU alumni-owned businesses.
Northern President Fritz Erickson says that could include buying a gift card, getting takeout for dinner, or helping businesses that are pivoting operations to support healthcare workers. A list of businesses is at nmu.edu/covid/wildcats-mean-business.
As part of the #WildcatsMeanBusiness campaign, Invent@NMU is offering free services to local small businesses. Those services include opening online sales, point of sales systems, website creation, and general marketing, among others.
