Disc Golf Club Wins Spring 2026 Project 100 Funds for New Course Near Fisher Trail
Northwood University’s Project 100 initiative has named the Disc Golf Club as the winner of the Spring 2026 competition. The winning proposal will bring a 9-hole disc golf course to campus near the Fisher Trail, creating a new outdoor recreational space for students, employees, and the broader Midland community.
Project 100 is a unique development initiative that brings together 100 alumni, employees, and friends of the university each semester to evaluate student-led proposals aimed at improving campus life. Each member contributes $100 and the collective funds are awarded to the winning project.
This semester, alumni and donors tuned in to hear thoughtful, well-developed presentations, each offering a compelling vision for enhancing the Northwood experience.
Members ultimately selected the ambitious proposal put forward by the Disc Golf Club to install a 9-hole disc golf course on campus near the Fisher Trail. The course will provide students with a free, accessible outdoor activity that promotes wellness, community building, and school spirit.
“Right now, our campus lacks dedicated outdoor recreational spaces that students can enjoy year-round at no cost,” shared Carter Remp, of Wheeling, West Virginia, in the pitch. “The funding from Project 100 will allow us to install a 9-hole disc golf course near the Fisher Trail — a space where students can unwind, compete, and connect with one another in a way that truly reflects the active, engaged Northwood community.”
The proposal addresses a growing demand for recreational amenities on campus by utilizing the natural landscape near the Fisher Trail to create an accessible, low-maintenance course that will serve the campus community for years to come.
Senior Alumni and Engagement Officer Julie Adamczyk praised the student proposals and the alumni engagement this semester.
“Project 100 is a testament to what makes Northwood so special — our students’ leadership and innovation, and our alumni’s continued investment in the university’s future,” Adamczyk said. “The Disc Golf Club’s vision resonated with our alumni because it creates a lasting, tangible space where every student can gather, compete, and be proud of their campus.”
“We’re incredibly proud to have won Project 100 and to have the opportunity to bring disc golf to the Northwood campus,” stated Jake Toyras of Negaunee, Michigan. “Thank you to the Project 100 donors for their generosity and belief in student-driven ideas. The support makes meaningful change possible, and we’re excited to break ground and build something our whole community can enjoy!”
Alumni who participated in the voting process emphasized the importance of investing in spaces that serve the entire student body and create lasting impact on campus life.
“If you’re a part of the Northwood community and haven’t yet explored Project 100, I can’t recommend it enough,” stated Brendon Masters of Petersburg, Michigan. “It’s a direct way to make an impact and stay connected to the heart of what makes Northwood special: our students and their leadership.” Project 100 always welcomes new members. Membership is just $50 per quarter and meetings are held virtually twice a year. To learn more, visit our Project 100 page.
