MARQUETTE, MI— Northern Michigan University’s 8th president has died at the age of 101.
John X. Jamrich served from 1968 to 1983. He died Sunday in Savannah, Georgia.
NMU’s campus grew under Jamrich’s presidency, with the construction of Cohodas Hall, the Learning Resources Center, Jacobetti Skills Center, and PEIF. He lived to see the dedication of not one but two academic buildings named after him.
