Homecoming brings community in

and  

An eventful and fun day, NECC’s second annual Homecoming was a big hit!

On Saturday October 13, 2018, Northern Essex hosted its second annual Homecoming at the Haverhill campus. The whole day was packed with a plethora of events from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. ranging from the volleyball game, pie eating contest, pumpkin painting, magic show, and of course the Campus Classic 5K. Homecoming was open to current students, faculty, their families, and alumni who were able to reconnect with the old days. Although the weather was quite rainy, homecoming turned out to be a great success anyway. The day kicked off with the classic 5K with adults and children from surrounding areas participating. The majority of the events took place in the Sports and Fitness Center, and the different departments of the school each had a table in the Spurk Building. There was lots of food and merchandise that were bought and sold.
