This is what supporting our community looks like 👀

Students, faculty, and alumni of the School of Health & Human Services have been busy outside of the classroom this month!

🕯️ Last week, Nicolet College, the Oneida County Health Department, and other community partners sponsored Light Up the Night for Recovery. The focus of this annual event is to reduce the stigma around substance use and mental health challenges, and connect individuals and families with local resources and support.

🚶‍♀️‍➡️ A group of Nicolet Student Nurse Club members recently participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s at the Hodag Dome. The students completed the 2-mile walk while helping raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease and showing support for individuals, families, and caregivers affected by dementia. The club also recently tied fleece blankets to donate to the Tri-County Council domestic violence shelter.

💙 We're proud to see learning and passions leave the classroom and support our community!

💡 Early Childhood Education Alumni Spotlight
Trista graduated from Nicolet College's ECE program in 2018 and currently works as a Special Education Teacher in the Northland Pines School District.

❓ What do you like about ECE as a career?
"I love that every day brings something new. There are certainly challenges that come with working in education, but the relationships you build and the moments when you see a child learn, grow, or reach a goal make the work incredibly rewarding and fulfilling."

💬 "Today, I am working toward my Master’s in Education, and I truly believe I would not be where I am today without the support and encouragement I received from the staff at Nicolet College while earning my Associate’s degree."
