It'll happen faster than you know it.

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.

Congratulations to Angelique Michaud on winning the $50 gift card from our First Gen. Celebration. And to Stephanie Michaud on winning the sweatshirt from the bookstore.

Come visit us today from 11-1 as we celebrate National 1st Generation College Students! We have snacks, Jeopardy, a photo booth, and prizes. You can also sign up for Spring classes!

Today’s the day! We are set up and ready to give away homemade cookies and resources! Set up in the Student Center from 11:30-1:30 or until the cookies run out! Hope to see you!

Do y'all know what tomorrow is?
National Homemade Cookie Day!
🍪🍪🍪
And to celebrate (because we love food AND celebrating), the counselors in the Counselor's Office here at NMCC are hosting a special event tomorrow, October 1st!
Please see the flyer below for more information - we'd love to see some smiling student faces! 😁
(If you're confused about the location - it's near the Wellness Center Entrance)

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.

Here's some Monday motivation for you all.
We will be coming up on sunshine and warm weather before you know it! ☀️
If you need us, we're here.
We hope your week is splendid ☺️
