It’s a celebration five decades in the
making and for Northern Maine Community College, the Golden Anniversary
reaches its peak with activities planned
on the weekend of September 9 and 10.
Complete with an open house and 50th
Anniversary Gala evening, NMCC is
marking the anniversary of its founding
in 1961 by paying tribute to the Aroostook County community and people it
has served through the years.
To reflect this, the College’s recently
formed Alumni and Friends Organization has named a constellation of
individuals who collectively represent
the breadth and depth of people who
have been touched by, or have otherwise impacted, the campus community.
The 50 Shining Stars are comprised of
alumni, each associated with one of the
47 graduating classes, as well as three
community members. All 50 individuals will be honored at the gala event on
September 10.
“We decided that it would be
most appropriate to honor alumni and
some of NMCC’s community friends
who have helped advance the College
in meaningful ways over the past five
decades,” said Scott Carlin, president of
the NMCC Alumni and Friends Organization. “It is reflective of the critical
and much appreciated support NMCC
has received from throughout the region
since the days when the institution was
just a dream to the very real success it is
today. It also goes well with our group’s
inclusive mission to engage all alumni
and friends of the College.”
In the coming months, the Shining
Star stories will be shared with the community through a marketing campaign
and in a number of publications. Posters featuring each star will be unveiled
