Dean Goes Back to 2nd grade


NMC Dean Carolyn Hamblin went to visit Masada Charter School's 2nd graders in class this week. (See her pictured with the students.) She participated in a letter exchange project with the students to help them learn about letter writing. She held a question answer period during her visit for the students to inquire about college. The students letters she picked up can be seen posted around campus. Be sure to take a minute to scan some if you're on campus - they're adorable!

Spring Registration Opens Nov. 8th

Online registration is available to returning students on Nov. 8th. Get on it! New student and on-campus registration opens the following week. Make sure you get the classes you want by registering early.

It's Done: the parking lot before and after



Hip, hip, hooray! We survived the parking lot paving. While it was fun to watch, the project severly limited parking. We've persevered, however, and the lot looks fantastic. Enjoy the lovely new parking.

Vote in the SAC election!

SAC elections will be held 10/19 and 10/20. Results will be posted 10/21.
The Student Activities Council (SAC) is designed to promote college spirit, provide a focal point for discussions between students and college staff and give students a representative voice in college affairs.
Through SAC, students can participate in the democratic process. SAC serves as a collective voice for students in student-related issues and concerns. Elected student leaders seek to promote progressive cultural and social environment.
The SAC elected officers serve as the executive and the legislative body representing the students at their home campus. The four elective Student Activities Council Officers are President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer.
