Good morning, all you beautiful people! ☀️
It's the first day of classes for the Spring semester.
It's always good to see students back on campus; makes the hallways look less empty.
We're here, we're ready to assist you, and we can't wait to see your smiling faces (though, smiling is not a requirement: we welcome all emotions!)
Stop in, give us a call, or send an email.

Good morning, all you beautiful people!

We're back. It's been a while since we posted, but we wanted to check in and let you all know that we're here.
It's so good to see students back on campus - it's much livelier here than it was during the summer.

How are we feeling 3 weeks into this semester?

If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out.

It's been a bit since we've posted, but we had many TRiO students walk across that stage and receive a diploma! We're so excited for all of you and cannot wait to see what the future brings you!

Congratulations to our 2024 graduates and thank you to everyone who made today very special!

We will post more photos of the commencement ceremony next week, so please stay tuned.

Congrats again grads! We’re going to miss you but we’re so excited for you as you move forward to the next chapter. Good luck! We are all cheering you on!

Today is a solemn day as the Counseling Team here at NMCC remembers the 607 lives lost to addiction in Maine last year. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, reach out to someone you trust or one of our Counselors for help.
