Continuing Education and Public Services Building Updates
New Multipurpose Room Brings Flexibility to Public Safety Courses
New Building Features Emergency Operations Command Center
Did you know the Continuing Education and Public Services Building has a mock Emergency Operations Command (EOC) Center? The Center includes the Emergency Management classroom and Flexible Simulation Lab. The mock EOC setting provides hands-on learning in traditional Emergency Management communications and response and best new practices in maintaining business operations when a disaster occurs. Students will practice planning in real-world settings and collaborate with industries and emergency response programs in disaster response simulations.
New Building to Free Space for Expanded Programs
Did you know that space being vacated as programs move into the new Continuing Education and Public Services Building will make room for NCC to expand its offerings? One new program, Brewing, Distillation and Fermentation, starting this fall, is part of the College’s expanded offerings in its Hospitality Curriculum. Other degree programs being offered in the Hospitality Group include Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management.

Center for Law Enforcement Excellence
Nash Community College has been training law enforcement officers through its Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) program for 16 years. Since 1999, approximately 420 cadets have graduated from the NCC BLET program and gone into their communities to serve and protect local citizens, many in the Twin Counties. Because of the regional reputation of the program, and due to its quality and growth along with the College’s superior in-service law enforcement training, Nash Community College is expanding BLET training options with the opening of the Center for Advanced Law Enforcement Training in the new Continuing Education and Public Services Building. Pictured from left: NCC Vice President of Student and Enrollment Services and former BLET Director Larry Mitchell, NCC Public and Safety Services Department Chair Nathan Mizell, NCC BLET cadets, NCC Director of Safety and Security and Chief of Police Wayne Lamm and Law Enforcement Training Instructor/Coordinator Adam Gelo.
