This was the beginning of a new chapter in life for many students. New and familiar faces fill classrooms across campus &#8211; some eager to begin their journey to success, and some anxious about what the future might hold. Regardless of the situation, and whether or not the students realize it, they will likely find their place at Nash Community College and will become prepared here, to fulfill their role in life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI chose Nash not only for its convenience but for its commitment to my community,\u201d a nursing graduate recently shared with me. Another graduate said, \u201cI was 48 years old when I entered college for the first time. While attending Nash I completed three degrees: Information systems, Office Systems and Accounting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before students even make their way through the hallways during the first week of the spring semester, they experience \u201cblue love\u201d as faculty and staff greet them and offer to help them find their way. The term \u201cblue love\u201d was coined by a faculty member, and refers to our campus\u2019 earnest attempt to make each student feel welcome, to assist students in working toward their educational goals, to ensure proper advising and to help them overcome barriers to learning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNash Community College has provided my family, friends and neighbors with the opportunity to make their lives better by providing an outstanding and reputable education,\u201d a graduate shared. I feel that Nash Community College is a first choice for many individuals for these very reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The college is committed to graduating every student. Therefore, NCC offers an inviting student-focused campus with instructional tools, academic support and technology to facilitate learning for students from all walks of life. If you are not a student, we urge you to come tour the campus and see firsthand how lives are being transformed in the classroom and beyond. To schedule a visit, call 252-451-8235.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I needed a school that was flexible and affordable. I would recommend NCC to others because I believe in what NCC stands for. They truly serve our community and as the years have gone by, they have adapted to the needs of the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday, January 13th marked the start of a new semester.
