Congratulations to five of our SUNY Nassau students for receiving a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence. We will be profiling each of our student winners in the coming weeks.

Chancellor's Award recipients are honored for their outstanding achievements within many aspects of their lives such as academics, leadership, campus involvement, community service or the arts. It is the highest honor bestowed upon a student by SUNY.

“I feel humbly honored by receiving the student Chancellor’s Award. I would like to thank my wonderful parents and my amazing professors for believing in me and encouraging me to excel. I hope to make the world a better place by spreading kindness and harmony.”

I am a Liberal Arts major in my second year at NCC. The biggest reason why I chose Nassau Community College is that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life after high school and saw NCC as the perfect place to explore that.

I am a marketing major and will graduate in 2025. After a rough start at a large four-year university, I chose to attend Nassau Community College. It has a nice campus, a great community, and besides — my mom went here! My best experience so far has been my in-class presentations.

I transferred to NCC to pursue a degree in Nursing. After some sudden life-changing events I needed to be back home with my family. Nassau was the best educational opportunity for me, especially considering my chosen career path. One of my favorite experiences at the College so far has been forming a sense of community with my peers.

For my first semester of college, I attended a large university out of state. As the semester went on, I was feeling more and more detached from the experience. After some contemplation I decided that coming back home for college would be my best choice.

My major is Biology and I am in my second year at NCC. I originally came to Nassau Community College because of the smaller class sizes and proximity to my home but the terrific faculty and flexible class schedules are great as well. As a science major, I would have to say one of my favorite experiences at Nassau has been the hands-on work that we do in the labs during biology classes.
