🏴☠️ 100 Stories for 100 Years – Story #45 🏴☠️
As we celebrate our Centennial, we’re highlighting the stories of Pirates whose connection to NCMC has made a lasting impact.
Meet Kristi Harris, whose NCMC journey began through the dual credit program while still in high school. By earning a semester of college credit before graduation, she gained confidence and momentum that helped launch her educational and professional journey.
Kristi’s first “big job” was with NCMC’s Upward Bound program, where she found inspiring mentors, built lifelong friendships, and developed a passion for TRIO programs that remains with her today. Nearly 20 years later, she continues to serve students as NCMC’s Chief of Staff, helping create opportunities and life-changing experiences for others.
Kristi shares that NCMC was more than the start of her education—it was the launchpad for her career and a place she is proud to call home.
