Visit Nashua Community College’s Celebration of Learning & Open House to see student work from programs across campus, and get a chance to learn about the 50+ degree, certificate, and career training pathways at NCC.

“This year, we are hosting our second annual Celebration of Learning, where students will showcase the excellent work they’ve done in the form of posters, videos, papers, artwork and other projects,” said Professor Jennifer Tripp, Chair of the Arts, Humanities, Communication & Design department.

“This event is free and open to the public on Thursday, May 2 from 5-7 pm at NCC. It is combined with an Open House where prospective students can learn about all NCC has to offer and talk to students and see the kind of work they do at NCC, first hand.”

Disciplines on display will include:

• Automotive
• Biological Sciences
• Business
• Computer Sciences
• Criminal Justice
• Cybersecurity
• Drawing & Graphic Design
• Early Childhood Education
• Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology
• English and Communications
• Mechanical Engineering Technology
• Nursing
• Psychology and Human Services
• Sociology and Anthropology

Professor Tripp shared a few examples of the type of work at the event, “Our Mechanical Engineering Technology students will showcase a project they designed and built—a portable shelter for the homeless, which they plan to donate to a Nashua Rescue Mission. They will also showcase a project called the DIY (do it yourself helper), which is a rooftop rack adapter that can change sizes to hold sheets of plywood and other materials.”

Tripp added that NCC nursing students have many projects to display, but one is all about access to healthcare for people experiencing homelessness.

Automotive students will showcase work they’ve done on cars this semester and Graphic Design, Drawing and Photography students will have artwork on display

On the subject of history, student displays will explore: “What are the meanings of monuments that commemorate the past? Two posters on Plymouth Rock and reevaluations of Confederate and Columbus statues analyze this topic,” said Professor Stephanie Roper.

English students will explore what videogame storytelling, cosmic horror, dystopian literature, active learning, and trauma writing have in common through their presentations.

This year’s communication students will share work produced from the 120 hours spent at internship sites all over Nashua, including the United Way, the YMCA, the Nashua Public Library, WSMN radio station, and NCC's Marketing department.

This event is free and open to the public, please drop in and see all the great work going on at NCC! Refreshments will be served. For more information or to sign up, visit nashuacc.edu.
