We were pleased to welcome Bobby Rhea, Community Investment Officer at the Richland County Foundation, for a tour of the NCSC Police Academy at the Kehoe Center this week!

We love opening our doors to community partners and supporters. Interested in a tour of NCSC facilities? Give us a call — we’d be happy to show you around!

Thank you to Bobby and the Richland County Foundation, and to all of our incredible local partners who help strengthen the work we do.

🎉 Community Engagement Committee Annual Luncheon

Last week, our NCSC Foundation Community Engagement Committee gathered for its annual luncheon to celebrate a successful year and begin planning more exciting initiatives to support our students and build a stronger community through quality education.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the beautiful Westbrook Country Club and were inspired by the success story of recent Business graduate Tyson, who was joined by his wife Katie. They shared how his positive experiences with our college staff and the achievement of his educational goals have impacted their family. Stories like theirs are exactly why we do what we do!

Our Mission - Providing individuals with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to succeed in their chosen path.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all our committee members for your continued dedication to North Central State College!
