Where are you from?
Michael Melichar is from St. Louis, MO
Why did I decide to apply to NPEP?
Michael Melichar read about NPEP and Professor Lackey in Chicago Magazine. Also, I’ve been an NU Wildcats fan ever since they made it to the Rose Bowl in 1996.
What does being a part of NPEP mean to you?
After God, my mother, my daughter, and my family, NPEP means everything to me and will be part of my life forever.
What are you most looking forward to as an NPEP student?
Michael Melichar is looking forward to more classes taught by Professor Lackey and Professor Sheila Bedi. Also, more class with ‘outside’ students.
What is something you would like others to know about you as a student?
I love books, libraries, and bookstores. That being said, I am a painfully slow, easily distracted reader.
What is a fact about yourself that others might find surprising?
I am permanently banned from entering Canada after being deported from the country in 2019.
