Three-peat Win for NSCC!
Congratulations to the student participants in this year’s Regional College Fed Challenge Competition, who, under the leadership of Professor Moonsu Han, took home first place in the community college division! NSCC has now earned the distinction of being the ONLY community college to win the Fed Challenge Competition for three years in a row – 2017, 2018, & 2019! This year our team competed against CC teams from Bunker Hill CC and Manchester, NH CC.
In the four-year division, Harvard College took first place.
NSCC student participants were Alexis Blais, Adam Ellis, Benjamin Gonzales, Kelly Rogers, Justin Shelbourne, and Kaylee Warren.
Worth mentioning is the fact that Professor Han was the only community college professor to serve as a judge, joining colleagues from Yale, Bentley, Dartmouth and Boston College, to name a few.
Kudos to all! #nsccproud
