Cruz read from the proclamation commending NMC for “launching student success,” as many of its graduates are now business, government, and community leaders in the CNMI and abroad, the document said.
NMC has a busy college month ahead. Notably they have outreach seminars throughout the last week of the month for the potentially college-bound
The “Start Smart Seminars” will inform students of the benefits of a college degree, resources to pay for college, and different majors and careers available.
On top of this, NMC graduates will share their college experiences with high schools.
