Welcome to NSCC

Hi,
My name is Jen Kirk and I am the Director of Admissions here at North Shore Community College. This is my first ever blog entry and I am really excited. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all NSCC students, new and returning! Did you know that we reached record enrollments this year? We were just shy of enrolling 8,000 students-which is a 10.3% increase from last year! You may have noticed that we have done some creative scheduling this fall and we are offering classes in the afternoon, more on-line and a few on Saturdays. This has helped to ease some of the overcrowding and made the parking a little more manageable-no? I hope so.

If you have any friends who might be interested in learning more about the college, please let them know that we have 2 Open Houses coming up. One in Lynn this Thursday (10/22) at 5:30 and one in Danvers next Wednesday (10/28) at 5:30. These Open Houses are a great way to learn more about the college, programs of study and transfer opportunities. We have asked financial aid experts from MEFA and Teri College planning to give an overview of financing your college career. These Open Houses are free and really informative, so please pass this on to family, friends and neighbors.

Until next week,
Jen Kirk
Director of Admissions and Recruitment/Outreach
