Markenson Louis was recently chosen as SUNY Nassau's first EOP (Educational Opportunity
Program) ambassador, a program begun by SUNY that will mentor other students, create
a student support network of EOP students across the SUNY system, advise the Chancellor
on strengthening the program, and help inspire more students to seek opportunities
through EOP.
"I heard about the EOP program when Ms. Nelson from SUNY Nassau's EOP Office came
to my high school in 2020. My own experience in the program was great. I chose to
come to Nassau Community College because it was affordable and very close to my home.
As ambassador I hope I can inspire incoming first-year students that it's possible
to be successful no matter what your conditions are. I'm a criminal justice major.
Once I complete my education, I hope to become a parole officer."
My decision to attend NCC after high school stemmed from a variety of reasons. I had a lack of direction on what career to pursue, and I certainly noted the astronomical tuition costs at the schools that offered me admission. When doing my research, I noticed NCC's commitment towards its students.

I am a first-generation college student and have been paying my way through college. I had previously attended NCC because of its affordability and location. I had such good memories from my first time attending that it made sense to go back to finish my degree. People also recommended Nassau's Surgical Technology program to me because it is one of the best in the area.

Going back to school was honestly the best choice for me. As an adult student, I felt focused and goal driven because I knew the expectations of the real world. The NCC - SUNY Empire State College Multi-Award Nursing Program prepared me for my future in so many ways.

NCC was a smart choice for me because I wasn't really sure what my passion was. Nassau gave me a chance to figure it out while not having to carry the financial burden of switching my major should I want to make a change.
