Who’s Who at NSCC
In addition to your instructors, each campus has a Student Services team dedicated to helping you get the most out of your experience at NSCC. It’s important to know who these employees are but even more important, to know what they do. Getting to know who to contact for certain services and supports means you can quickly get the assistance you need when the academic year begins.
