 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

Contest Rules:

Each week we will send out a problem solving challenge as a friendly competition among students, faculty and staff. They will vary in topic, format and difficulty. Problems are posted on Tuesdays and answers need to be returned via email to Professor Anne O'Shea (aoshea@northshore.edu) or Professor John Gambino (jgambino@northshore.edu) by 11:00 am on Friday of the same week.     

The first randomly selected correct entry, regardless of when it is received, will earn 10 pts, the next 9 pts, the third 8 pts, the fourth 7 pts and the fifth 6 pts. All other correct submissions will earn 5 points. The person with the highest cumulative point total at the end of the semester (12/13) will be declared the winner and Problem Solving Champion and win a “fabulous” prize. Separate contests will be held for Students and Faculty/Staff.

Problems are posted each in the Bulletin each week, posted on the North Shore Community College Mathematics Department Facebook page, and on bulletin boards across from LE303 (Lynn) and on the first floor of the Berry Building (Danvers) by Tuesday. Other locations may be added at a later time.

 

 

 

 

Worthy Causes

 

 photo of knitted hats, mittens and gloves
Help NSCC students, and others in need, Chase the Chill!
Please consider donating your knitted creations of hats, scarves, and gloves OR donate new or very gently used ones for the Chase the Chill Lynn event on Saturday, November 30, 12:30p.m..  We are always especially in need of thick men's gloves and socks. And those in need often ask for coats, sweatpants or sweatshirts. 
 
Chase the Chill Lynn was started by a graduate of NSCC, Kecia Rideout, and several NSCC faculty, staff, and students assist with the event each year.  We distribute these items outside of My Brother's Table.  They hang on clotheslines so people in need are empowered to choose whatever they like for free from the vast selection of colors and designs. 
 
This year, we will be joining efforts with the Office of Student Engagement (OSE) by collecting gently used/new clothing between Nov. 4-15 (boxes outside both OSE).  We plan to offer clothing items to NSCC students on tables outside the Danvers cafe and across from the Lynn gym during Dec. 2-13.    
 
Don't have time to shop?  We will shop for you if you would like to give a donation. Donna Davis (Student Support Center, first floor of Health Professions Building) accepts donations all year long and new volunteers and knitters (or shoppers!) are always welcomed.   To help, contact Donna at extension 4245 or ddavis@northshore.edu.
