First-Year Experience
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 2016-2017 (Amy Ellis Nutt's Becoming Nicole), "Conversations About College" workshops, campus-wide Day of Service scheduled for April 5, 2017, 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!
First Year Experience (FYE) Day of Service
Looking for a way to touch the world (and maybe make it a little better)? Join members of the NCC campus community on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 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.
Conversations About College
A new school, a new routine, new friends, new freedom, new choices—college produces tons of changes in students' lives. The First-Year Experience program's "Conversations About College" workshops offer practical advice about handling these changes and challenges.
Whether it's managing your time effectively, becoming a better test taker, finding the right career, working with your professors, or making smart decisions about alcohol or sex, you'll come away from "Conversations" workshops with strategies, solutions, and food for thought.
