President’s Message Welcome At Nashua Community College, our mission is to provide high-quality education to meet the diverse needs of our community. Dedicated faculty and staff are here to help students achieve their goals, and our active Student Life will help everyone get the most out of their college experience. A Welcoming Community True to our mission, NCC welcomes students of all ages, backgrounds, and aspirations. PHOTOGRAPH Bilingual and multilingual staff help students and families navigate their education, and dozens of clubs and activities help students find niche communities to call their own. The College is nimble and able to adapt quickly to changing needs in the community. When the pandemic prompted remote learning in spring 2020, we continued to support students virtually and host Student Senate, Clubs, and social events online. Student ambassadors and staff helped create outreach videos and messaging in English and Spanish. Our workforce development leaders also increased access for career training opportunities during the remote learning period with new online Coding Boot Camps, and by ensuring the new camps were WIOA eligible. Lucille A. Jordan President Student Life Overseeing clubs and activities, our Office of Student Life enhances the academic experience with co-curricular activities that foster a sense of meaningful involvement, community engagement, and student leadership. Student clubs, special events, and the Student Senate make it easy to network and engage in campus activities. Student services, and faculty and staff advisors, help students get the most out of their extracurricular activities. Beyond campus life, students benefit from NCC’s engagement with the outside community. We keep a close relationship with the United Way of Greater Nashua, and host United Way events throughout the year such as food packing events to help food-insecure families, a community baby shower for families-in-need, and annual overnight fundraiser to address homelessness in Nashua. Our Multicultural Engagement department participates in cultural outreach at events across Nashua. NCC also sponsors local community events, such as the City of Nashua’s Multicultural Festival. Access & Affordability While maintaining quality programming and faculty, NCC also has the lowest tuition rate in the region. Our College Advisory Board is dedicated to raising scholarship funds for students in need, and our Financial Aid Office is always available to identify and facilitate access to grants, scholarships, and other funds. Through our Purpose First mission, we guide students’ academic plan toward the most efficient pathway, saving money and facilitating the transition to a career or higher education beyond NCC.
