Welcome and welcome back to Northern Essex Community College! As we begin the fall 2023 semester, we are excited to welcome both new and returning students to our campus. This semester promises to be an exciting one, filled with new opportunities and challenges.

As you begin your studies, we encourage you to take advantage of all the resources that NECC has to offer.

Our faculty and staff are here to support you every step of the way, whether you need help with your coursework or guidance on your career path. NECC also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, clubs, and organizations that can help you get involved on campus and meet new people. NECC has plenty of student groups to enrich our community.

The Art Club, the Sexuality Alliance, and Environment Club are among some of the student favorites. There is also the Dungeon and Dragons Club, Nursing Club, and Environmental Club to name a few.

The Student Government Association is a great way to get involved with NECC and make a difference here at the school. You would be representing students’ interests and concerns and serve as a voice for the NECC community.

If athletics is more your thing this fall you check out women’s volleyball, men’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country and men’s and women’s basketball. Tighten up your laces or drop by to catch a game. NECC sports will keep you rooting for the home team.

Classes are designed to be engaging and challenging and the staff is here to help you succeed. Your success is their success.

As we begin this new semester together, we want you to know that we are here for you every step of the way.

We wish you all the best as you embark on this exciting new journey at Northern Essex Community College!
