Veterans are an important student population at NSCC, which has been designated a Military Friendly School by the national organization, G.I. Jobs, two years in a row. Through a major federal grant, the College has expanded and enhanced its offerings to include: a dedicated Veteran’s Services Specialist, a student Veteran’s Club, an official chapter of the Veterans National Honor Society, and credit for life experience testing— and most recently converted space on its Danvers campus to a Veteran’s Drop-In Center. NSCC’s Veterans program is coordinated by Kristine Babcock, herself a veteran, shown here, front left.
