For so many alums, North Shore Community College was a beacon of hope and the turning
point to a bright, promising future. Now, you can make that same experience possible
for the next generation of NSCC students as a member of the Lighthouse Society!
The Lighthouse Society of the NSCC Foundation recognizes and celebrates the generosity of people like you who choose to create a lasting legacy to benefit students of North Shore Community College through a planned gift.
Judith Putnam, Class of 1984, is proud to be a founding member of the Lighthouse Society!
“As a single mother in the 1970’s with two young children, it dawned on me that I should pursue my education. I found my way to NSCC where I began my journey, and I went on to complete a Master’s Degree in Education at Cambridge College, which allowed me to realize my passion and dream of teaching and supporting returning adult students. From there, I enjoyed the next 25 years as a part-time faculty member at North Shore Community College, and in 1995 I was honored to become the director of NSCC’s Women In transition Program. After retiring in 2005, I continued to teach at the college until 2016. I believe strongly in this college, and I want to help future students pursue their own educational journeys.”
