First-Year Experience
WHAT'S UP NCC?
Engage! Enrich! Empower!
At Nassau, it's all about community: connecting with classmates, professors, clubs, sports, campus services, and other resources that will enrich your college experience. NCC's First-Year Experience (FYE) program is one of the best places to make those connections.
Our common reading for 2017-2018 (Laura Bates' Shakespeare Saved My Life: Ten Years in Solitary with the Bard), "Conversations About College" workshops, campus-wide Day of Service scheduled for April 19, 2018, and FYE blog ("What's Up, NCC?") all offer paths to community on campus. So be good to yourself! Browse this link and learn more about FYE programs and opportunities. Take advantage of all that's available. You'll learn plenty, meet interesting people, and have a great time too!
(FYE) Day of Service
Thursday, April 19, 2018
Looking for a way to touch the world (and maybe make it a little better)? Join members of the NCC campus community for the First Year Experience program's Day of Service. There will be more than forty service projects taking place on the Nassau campus that day--everything from food and clothing drives to fund raisers, charitable auctions, environmental activities, and campus beautification projects. It's a great opportunity to do something important for others.
Common Reading: Behold the Dreamers
Behold the Dreamers is the 2016 debut novel by Imbolo Mbue. The novel details the experiences of two New York City families during the 2008 financial crisis: an immigrant family from Cameroon, the Jonga family, and their wealthy employers, the Edwards family.
