Three students from Northern Michigan University's pre-professional programs have been accepted by universities to complete their advanced education following their graduation in May.

Martin Heikel, a former Verizon vice president and founder/CEO of Flatiron Apps Company in New York City, will discuss his professional journey from corporate executive to startup founder during a free public presentation at Northern Michigan University. He will draw upon his career after graduating from NMU to address lessons learned along the way and factors that contribute to business success. 

Northern Michigan University alumna Kassy Dumke ('13 BS) was identified as one of Minnesota's “Seven Young Conservationists to Watch” by Star Tribune columnist Dennis Anderson. She is a Ducks Unlimited waterfowl biologist in Windom, Minn.
