A Conversation with the President: innovation needed to mitigate enrollment declines

NMU President Chris Olsen

NMU President Chris Olsen tells Public Radio 90 News Director Nicole Walton that the university is financially stable and able to deal creatively with fewer students. He also comments on the Higher Learning Commission's visit to Northern during the school's accreditation process.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
