Student Life Awards 2024

The Student Life and Leadership Development departments hold an award ceremony each year to honor outstanding Northampton Community College (NCC) students, clubs and organizations, and club advisors for their achievements and contributions during the academic year. This year's award ceremonies were held on April 16 at the Bethlehem campus and on April 23 at the Pocono campus. Both ceremonies had an amazing turnout of students, faculty, and staff there to celebrate and recognize this year's well-deserved winners. NCC President, Dave Ruth, Ph.D., also took time to thank everyone who commits their time to getting involved with the NCC clubs and organizations. 

Recipients of the awards were given a plaque of recognition to take home. Students who accepted awards took time to thank their peers and mentors. Student clubs and organizations are what foster such a strong sense of community and belonging for the students at NCC.  

Congratulations to everyone who has been recognized with an award this year!
