    Aspiration

Students become involved at NSC and feel engaged with our community. They begin to see their experience as a transformational one. They have a plan to progress through the rest of their degree at NSC, the ability and the support needed to progress to the 2nd year, and they know how to access all of the major services (financial aid, advising, tutoring, etc.). They have the opportunity to engage in a cross-cutting academic experience that gives them practice using critical inquiry to engage with real-world issues.

    Audience

• Full-time students willing to consider completing a BA/BS at NSC (as opposed to students who are taking a class but plan on transferring).
• Part-time students who could consider shifting to fulltime and pursuing a degree.
• Students living in our Residence Halls
