Student Spotlight: NH-INBRE Annual Meeting Students from Nashua Community College, NHTI, and Great Bay Community College showcased their summer research projects at the NH-INBRE Annual Meeting, Aug. 17-18 at the Mt. Washington Resort. From NCC: Joseph Raneri and ZsuZsa Zsofka presented their project, Macrophage IL-6 Signaling Pathways Potentially Disrupted by Nanoplastics from Bottled Water. The work reflected a high level of scientific inquiry and dedication. NCC students were mentored by Dr. Debra Costa-Nino and Biological Sciences faculty. Congratulations to Joseph, ZsuZsa, and the Biological Sciences team for the excellent work! NH-INBRE, an NIH-funded statewide network dedicated to strengthening biomedical research and research training in New Hampshire, continues to provide invaluable opportunities for NCC students to participate in meaningful research, collaborate with faculty mentors, and engage with the broader scientific community. CCSNH has proudly been a partner in NH-INBRE for the past 17 years

Advising News: Welcome Back Welcome Back, Faculty! A Quick Advising Team Reminder As we head into the Fall semester, we wanted to provide a quick refresher on our Advising Team and current caseload assignments. Donna Lisa Sanchez continues to serve as our VA School Certifying Official, in addition to advising students in our Computer Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Electronic Engineering Technology, Information Technology, and Mathematics programs. Jayleen Aleman has expanded her advising responsibilities to include students in Biological Science, General Studies, and Nutrition & Wellness. Jayleen will continue her important work with Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), partnering with faculty to help identify and evaluate opportunities for students to earn credit for collegelevel learning gained outside the traditional classroom. This work supports our efforts to recognize students’ prior learning, remove barriers to completion, and help students make progress toward their educational goals. We are always looking for ways to strengthen our faculty-advising collaboration and create a more connected experience for our students. One way we are doing this is by aligning advising caseloads with our Academic Focus Areas (AFAs), helping to connect students with advisors who are more closely aligned with their programs and areas of study. This approach encourages stronger communication and collaboration between faculty advisors and academic advisors and supports more coordinated academic planning and student success. To view current advisor caseloads by program, please visit our Advising Center webpage: https://nashuacc.edu/student-experience/advising-center/ ...continued on next page
Thank you for your continued partnership and collaboration! We appreciate the important role our Faculty Advisors play in supporting our students, and we look forward to continuing to work together to help our students succeed! We’re looking forward to a great Fall semester! - Shared by the NCC Advising Center
