Tell the world what makes NSCC special!

Let everyone know how much we care about our students!  

Tell us in your own words how you help students every day and you could play a part in the #nsccspirit We’re Here to Help video project. We’re looking for words from the heart - of hope, encouragement and advice - from our faculty and staff to share with our current students and students interested in enrolling at NSCC.

Here are good tips to keep in mind:

  1. Keep your video to 15 seconds.
  2. Standard File Types: MP4, MOV
  3. Max Size: 25MB
  4. Make sure you can be seen! (No bright windows or lights behind you).
  5. Keep your camera horizontal, not vertical.
  6. Submit your video by Monday, May 18, 2020!

SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO HERE!

LAST CALL for the PACE Survey

The PACE survey will close at midnight on May 6th.  If you haven’t taken the survey, please consider doing it now.   The survey was originally sent on April 22nd, to all full- and part-time faculty and full-time staff.  The email came from “PACE Survey,” and contained a link to the 2020 PACE survey.  The subject line was: North Shore Community College - PACE Survey.  It’s possible, if you placed a previous survey from PACE (even years ago) into your spam folder, that it went directly there automatically this time, so if you haven’t received the link, please check your spam folder. A final reminder to anyone who hasn’t responded will go out in the next 24 hours.

 Keep uninvited guests out of ZOOM meetings

 A couple of tips on using Zoom to host meetings and public events:

  • DO NOT share your meeting link on social media or other public forums as that makes your event … extremely public. ANYONE with the link can join your meeting.
  • Avoid using your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to host public events. Your PMI is basically one continuous meeting and you don’t want unwanted guests crashing your personal virtual space after the party’s over. Learn about meeting IDs and how to generate a random meeting ID (at the 0:27 mark) in this video tutorial.
  • Familiarize yourself with Zoom’s settings and features so you understand how to protect your virtual space when you need to. For example, the Waiting Room is an unbelievably helpful feature for hosts to control who comes and goes. (More on that below.)

Read on for a list of Zoom features that can help you safely share your Zoom event without unwanted interruptions.

Virtual Relaxation

I recorded two meditations I recently led at NSCC and am sharing the links in case you and yours would like to listen, whenever you have time. We can all use some relaxation and encouragement.

Each is roughly 25-minutes long and includes some breathing work, muscle relaxation and then a peaceful journey among the evening sky or to a tropical island beach.  All you have to do is click on the link (no account necessary / sound clip only) to get started on your trip to the stars or sea -- a very nice way to sit back, close your eyes, and unwind after a long day.

Please feel free to share these:

And you are welcome to join us any Friday between 12-12:30pm (ending May 15th) for the live version. Just use this link:
