Student Life & Leadership Celebrates Student Achievements

Students, staff, and faculty at Northampton Community College (NCC) came out to support students' achievements during a Student Life and Leadership Celebration and Award Ceremony at Pocono campus and Bethlehem campus this April. Students were acknowledged for their involvement in clubs and activities through NCC that contribute to a vibrant campus and surrounding community. 

“We are excited to celebrate with you the efforts of our student clubs, their advisors, and student leaders in helping to support the mission of Northampton Community College where students have the opportunity to expand their skills and experience outside of the classroom,” said Director, Student Life and Leadership, Nykolai Blichar. 

Following the recognition of this year's award winners, both campus locations held an end of year party with refreshments, good conversation, and fun activities. 

“I want to personally thank all of our students, staff, and faculty who give so much of themselves to increasing student engagement through our wonderful events. You truly exemplify what makes NCC such a great place to learn and work,” Blichar said.
