Happy National Paralegal Day! And shout-out to all the amazing paralegal students, professors, and future paralegals out there!

In honor of National Paralegal Day today, we asked our Paralegal Student Association president, Robin, what NHCC's paralegal program means to her!

“NHCC's paralegal program means a few things to me: flexibility, quality education, connections, and a path forwards in life. The program is ABA-approved, which is important because not only will employers be looking for that, but it shows that this program is like super duper good. Since we primarily have evening classes over Zoom, it allows me to do other things during the day, and not have to schedule my life around classes (as much as I would have to if they were day classes). What I really enjoy about the program is that our teachers are amazing. They’re so knowledgeable and thorough, and they’re here for us and want us to succeed. I love learning, and I'm learning so much. I enjoy meeting new people in the program and helping them navigate any challenges or confusion they're facing. Of course, my favorite thing has to be the community we're fostering through PLSA (Paralegal Student Association), because that's a super important thing to have when your entire program is online.” -Robin

Big opportunities, new connections, and exciting possibilities!

Last week, a group of NHCC students went to the Minneapolis Convention Center for the People of Color Career Fair! Students enjoyed connecting with employers and practiced their professionalism in ways they know will help them in future job interviews. Thanks to the staff and faculty in our NHCC Partnership Center for making this possible!

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we were grateful to welcome Indigenous artists and cultural educators to campus this week.

Yesterday, NHCC alumni and artist Scott Kutney, of the Oglala Lakota and Oneida people, stopped by campus to prepare for his upcoming art exhibit, Hidden Portraits.

Today, we welcomed Kalpulli Yaocenoxtli, a traditional Mexica-Nahua (Aztec) cultural group, who shared the dances, songs, and philosophy of Nahua traditions and culture with our campus community. We had a blast learning to dance with you!

Thank you for helping us celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and traditions of Indigenous people.

What a night! Last Friday, NHCC theatre students had the chance to meet Broadway playwright and actor Larissa FastHorse after her amazing performance of Fancy Dancer at the History Theatre. The theatre's mission is to provide "a unique lens which links our past to the present, explores our common heritage, and illuminates our understanding of what it means to be American." Mission accomplished!

This week has been the G.O.A.T. at NHCC!

We kicked off the week with some adorable visitors on campus (thanks to Student Life & the CARE Center for the Goat Cuddles and Coffee event), and kept the fun going on Tuesday as we welcomed students to NHCC for Pathways Day!

Between our daytime and evening Pathways Day sessions, 654 students checked in! That’s 654 opportunities for students to connect, learn, explore resources at NHCC, and get closer to reaching their goals.

A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make it happen! From conversations and presentations to tacos, technology support, directions, and sidewalk chalk masterpieces, it all made an impact and offered a meaningful experience for our students! What a great week! 🐐✨

Special thanks to Andrea Yoch from Minnesota Aurora FC for coming to speak to students and employees at our NHCC Soccer event yesterday! We were inspired by your words, and reminded that it’s ok if your life doesn’t follow a specific path, you can always switch things up later on! It was super fun to see everyone’s special jerseys on campus and watch the friendly soccer game outside, too! Thank you again Andrea, and go MN Aurora!
