Godfrey Odinga, Academic Chair School of Business and Creative Industries, Akerley Campus

"As an institution, NSCC broadens its global footprint. Employees who participate in our technical assistance projects get more opportunities to practice what they are very passionate about. The international exposure gives you a different perspective of other practitioners in your field of expertise thus enriching your skillset. One comes back to their office refreshed and energized. All these gains……not to mention the travel to different parts of the world!"

Tony Dorrian, Faculty Adult Learning Program, Burridge Campus

"NSCC's technical assistance projects provide incredible opportunities to meet new colleagues, gain exposure to new ideas, and 'recharge our batteries'. What can I bring back to my classroom? At every turn, there is a possible new lesson plan, case study, or current example that I can incorporate into my courses. This exposure is so fresh and dynamic, that I sometimes feel I can abandon my textbook."
