Summer 2025 Update

Pride, success and celebrations

As we’re about to step into the summer season, we are excited and proud to celebrate the hard work and success of NSCC students with you.

This summer, we share with you exciting community stories that show thriving 2SLGBTQ+ students, the impact of new funding for students pursuing skilled trades, alumni giving back and awards helping students achieve their dreams. We also highlight the outgoing Board Chair of NSCC Foundation’s Board of Directors with a leadership update.
