Tours & Info Sessions - NECC 08/06/2026

Looking for a sign? If you are planning on making NECC your next step, come check out what makes our campus and community so special!

We offer regular campus tours and info sessions at both the Haverhill and Lawrence campuses— no pressure, just a chance to walk around, meet current students, and get honest answers about programs, financial aid, and student support from the Admissions Team. Every session wraps with an open Q&A, so nothing has to stay a mystery.

There are also sessions built around specific interests, like Health Programs, Human Services, American Sign Language, or Athletics, if you already know what you're drawn to. The next Lawrence campus tour is Tuesday, Aug 12 from 3–4:30pm, with more added regularly!

This week, we played tourist for a day & met local business owner and NECC alumnus Issa Zeftađź’«

Issa came to the U.S. in 1983, studied at Bradford College, then found his footing at Northern Essex — a place he credits with some of the best teachers and advisors of his life. From there, his path took him through UMass Lowell and Mount Ida College. But somewhere along the way, life had other plans.

“I never thought I was going to be in the restaurant business,” Issa says.

What started as a small local restaurant that came up for sale turned into decades of building something bigger than a business — a family.

For Issa, running a restaurant was never just about good food and a great location (though he’ll tell you those matter too… a LOT). It’s about being part of the community. His restaurant has stood alongside organizations like the Exchange Club, Kiwanis, the Boys and Girls Club, the Lions, and local veterans — because for Issa, showing up for your neighbors isn’t optional. It’s the job.

He talks about the Merrimack Valley the way you’d talk about someone you love — a place shaped by different cultures and experiences, close to the mountains, close to the beach. A unique place to build a life. And in his 38 years owning Maria's Family Restaurant here, Issa has done exactly that, one relationship, one commitment, one dish at a time.

“If it wasn’t for the family, we’d never be here that long.”

💭This is the first story in a new series where we are sitting down with alumni who are building futures within our community — one conversation at a time. Issa’s story is a reminder that community isn’t just something you join. It’s something you show up for, every single day, for almost four decades.

Last week, our NECC Men's Basketball National Champions officially received their championship rings— a well-earned celebration for a team that made program history! 💫🏆

This title is part of an incredible year for NECC Athletics as a whole. The Knights recently notched their all-time best finish among New England schools, placing 12th nationally in the Ron Case Cup standings, a testament to the strength of our athletic program across the board.

Congratulations to our National Champion Knights, their coaches, and everyone who supported this incredible run 👊💙
