Earlier this week we spent some time in our Automotive Collision Repair, Automotive Technology, and Building Construction labs, and our students were hard at work.

These programs are hands-on from day one. Students learn by doing, with real tools, real projects, and instructors who know the trades.

If you or someone in your household is thinking about a future at NMCC, now is a great time to start planning. Come take a tour, see the labs in person, and ask us questions. We'll walk you through every step, from applying to financial aid.

👏 Meet Brian Hall!

We’re proud to celebrate Brian, NMCC’s Director of Financial Aid, who was recently featured by the Maine Community College System as one of the outstanding employees making a difference across Maine’s community colleges.

Brian brings a positive attitude, persistence, and a genuine commitment to helping others to everything he does. Whether he’s helping students navigate financial aid, troubleshooting complex systems, or sharing his knowledge with colleagues across the Maine Community College System, Brian is always looking for solutions and ways to help others succeed.

But perhaps what matters most is why Brian does what he does.

“Helping students find ways to afford a quality education at NMCC has been incredibly fulfilling,” Brian shared. “During my time here, I’ve watched thousands of students transform into confident professionals who go on to strengthen our community.”

Thank you, Brian, for all you do for our students, our college, and your colleagues across Maine. We’re fortunate to have you on the NMCC team!

Today, our Trades faculty, along with our Director of Residential Life, flexed their BBQ skills and fed a record crowd at their free community Fall Feast! 🍂🔥

The menu featured pulled pork and all the delicious fixings, and there are even whispers that a few folks were up in the middle of the night getting everything ready for us to enjoy today. Now that is dedication!

It was a beautiful fall day, and students, staff, and faculty alike enjoyed the chance to come together, soak up the sunny weather, share some laughs, and, of course, enjoy some delicious food.

A big thank-you to everyone who put in the time and effort to make today’s feast such a success. What a wonderful way to celebrate our campus community! 🍁❤️

New equipment is helping NMCC Auto Collision Repair students prepare for today’s workforce!

With financial support from MMG Insurance and the Northern Maine Community College Foundation, the program has added a new resistance spot welder.

The equipment replicates factory spot welds and gives students experience with repair techniques widely used in the collision repair industry.

A special thank you to MMG Insurance for being a valued partner and supporter of NMCC. Your investment in hands-on education helps our students develop the skills they need while strengthening the workforce available to employers throughout our region.
