Honors Program Showcase
Please join the Honors Program in its 3rd annual Honors Program Showcase, which is
taking place on Wednesday, March 18th from 4-6pm in Lynn, 2nd floor South. The Showcase
is an opportunity for Honors students to show one piece of their Honors work and to
practice the art of explanation, as they give a short 5-minute presentation along
with a poster that details their work. We will have external judges select two winners,
rewarding their hard work and the clarity of their knowledge. I hope you can join
us for at least part of the Showcase to revel in our students' accomplishments.

Student Nominations Needed for NSCC’s “29 Who Shine” Honoree
Nominations are now being accepted for this year’s “29 Who Shine” student honoree. This event, organized annually by the MA Department of Higher Education to recognize an outstanding graduate from each of the state’s 29 public colleges, will be held Thursday, April 30 at the MA State House.
Please nominate your best and brightest students for this honor. Nominations are due no later than Tuesday, March 11. Like last year, the DHE also needs the name of a faculty member who played a pivotal role in the student’s education experience. Both the student and faculty member will be expected to attend the ceremony and a reception following.
Criteria for 29 Who Shine 2020:
- The individual student graduate of the Class of 2020 shows exceptional promise as a future leader in civic affairs or in business or professional activity in Massachusetts, having demonstrated an ability to contribute to the civic and/or economic wellbeing of the Commonwealth. The student should have a strong record of civic engagement and have made a demonstrable contribution to their community and/or the state. This aspect of the student’s profile should be the most significant in judging the nomination.
- The student intends to pursue a career track or interest for which there is a demonstrated need in the Commonwealth, such as a high-demand STEM-related career (health care, life sciences, information technology), or a start-up business that will produce jobs, or a community service role to better the lives of fellow Massachusetts citizens (such as teaching, working in a social service agency or community organization, etc.)
- The student is a Massachusetts resident who plans to continue living and working in the state upon graduation. A student who plans to live in Massachusetts after furthering his or her education, either in or out of state, would also qualify.
- The student will complete their degree or certificate requirements at a Massachusetts community college, state university or UMass campus within the 2019-2020 academic year.
- The student is able to attend the 29 Who Shine awards ceremony at the Massachusetts State House scheduled for April 30, 2020.
Please submit student names and description of how they meet the above criteria to Linda Brantley, Executive Director of External & Public Relations at lbrantle@northshore.edu no later than March 11. President Gentile will make the selection decision based on nominations received.
