A Toast to Student Success

NCC’s annual Food and Wine Gala is both a celebration of student success and a call to continue NCC’s rich legacy of donor-supported gifts and scholarships to allow the next generation of students to realize their dreams. Listen in as current students share how much scholarships impact their ability to focus on their studies and flourish in the classroom. All proceeds from the Northampton Community College Food & Wine gala benefit student scholarships.
