Thank You!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated clothes, hats, gloves, and scarves for Chase the Chill. We collected numerous items that were distributed outside of My Brother's Table in Lynn on Nov. 30th. Additionally, items will be available for students through December 13th on a table across from the Lynn Gym and in the Berry Cafeteria.
A special thank you to the NSCC Alumni Association, Sigma Alpha Pi, Phi Theta Kappa, and Student Government for their kind donations as well as to the Student Engagement staff who have worked tirelessly in sorting donations and stocking the tables.

Week #12-13 Leaderboard scores.
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.
