North Country Community College is proud to announce that Chelsea Helms, an award-winning journalist and evening news anchor for CBS4 in Central Indiana, and an alumnus of the college, will serve as the keynote speaker for North Country's 57th Commencement Ceremony. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 17, at 11 a.m. in the Sparks Athletic Complex on the college's Saranac Lake campus.

Students, staff, and faculty pitched in this week to do a little spring cleaning of the Saranac Lake campus. A total of 45 people participated in the Saranac Lake Campus Clean-Up, which took place Tuesday afternoon and was coordinated by the Office of Student Life.

To mark Community College Month, North Country President Joe Keegan penned this recent op-ed about how community colleges benefit our students and communities. Since it was founded in 1967, NCCC has educated thousands of students who have attended classes, earned degrees, and went on to establish careers, raise families, serve their communities and contribute to the well-being of the region and beyond.
