History and Overview Established in 1965, North Shore Community College is a public, comprehensive two-year institution of post – secondary education. It is one of the oldest and largest community colleges within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ fifteen-member community college system. Located in Essex County, Massachusetts (the state’s third largest county), North Shore affords educational and career development opportunities to nearly 15,000 full-time and part-time credit and non-credit students enrolled days, evenings and weekends. Serving twenty-six cities and towns along the coastal region from north metropolitan Boston to Cape Ann (the “North Shore”), NSCC operates three strategically located regional campus sites in the cities of Lynn and Beverly and the town of Danvers. The College’s service area, with more than 500,000 residents, is comprised of a diverse mix of urban and suburban, white-and-blue collar, middle-and low-income groups, with a burgeoning population of minority residents. For more than thirty years, NSCC has devoted itself to the development of programs and services that meet the educational needs of this constituency. Addressing diverse community needs through a wide range of occupational and transfer programs, NSCC offers associate degrees in the arts and sciences, as well as specialized certificate and clock hour programs requiring from one to 76 credits. In addition to its 90+ degree and certificate programs, the College provides an extensive array of non-credit community education and workforce development courses, enrolling more than 2,000 students per semester at both on-campus and off-campus regional sites. NSCC, one of five community colleges successfully serving its region from a multiple site configuration, is the only college to have struggled since its inception for a permanent home. Since 1965, the College has provided instruction from a variety of rented storefronts, abandoned school buildings, and converted office buildings. In the Fall of 1986, NSCC opened a newly constructed building in the city of Lynn to serve the economically disadvantaged residents in the urbanized southern sector of the North Shore area. In 2011, NSCC completed a new Zero Net Energy Building on the Danvers Campus. The Lynn facility currently accommodates about 40% of the college’s population, with Danvers housing 40%. The remaining students attend classes on both campuses, with additional offerings in our corporate center in Beverly and space at the Essex Agricultural Technical High School. Multiple sites within the region facilitate maximum access for many area residents seeking higher education, career mobility and cultural enhancement. Open admission ensures that all students are provided a chance to realize their aspirations; only a high school diploma or its equivalent is required for admission to the College. Broadly diverse and non-traditional in terms of age, ethnicity, socio-economic background, and academic preparation, all North Shore Community College students share a fundamental common bond: the College affords them the educational access and opportunity that they might not otherwise have to make a better life for themselves. Because of its outreach and responsive programming, the College contributes richly to the intellectual, educational, cultural, and economic health and development of its citizenry and region. Having struggled continuously for a permanent campus and successfully managed the challenges posed by operating from multiple rental sites, NSCC has a reputation for responsiveness, quality, and innovation. The college community demonstrates a tenacious spirit, resiliency, and ability to confront problems with creative and innovative solutions. North Shore has gained recognition and sustained growth through a zealous commitment to accessibility, responsiveness to community need, and delivery of quality programming and services.

Mission Statement Three separate but cohesive mission statements guide North Shore Community College. The first is a comprehensive, system-wide mission statement for Public Higher Education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The second is a mission statement of general characteristics common to all Massachusetts community colleges. The third mission statement contains the specialized and focused components which identify North Shore Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive characteristics and priorities.

Mission of the Public Higher Education System The public college and university system in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts comprises 15 community colleges, nine state colleges and five campuses of the University of Massachusetts. The system exists to provide accessible, affordable, relevant and rigorous academic programs that adapt to meet changing individual and societal needs for education and employment. All campuses are committed to operating effectively and efficiently in order to maintain tuition at a level as low as possible, while providing a high-quality education to every student who qualifies for admission. The public system is committed to continuous improvement and accountability in all aspects of teaching and learning. The Board of Higher Education and institutional Boards of Trustees recognize their responsibilities to the taxpayers and residents of Massachusetts and expect all students, faculty and staff to be held to exacting high standards in the performance of their roles and responsibilities. Massachusetts public higher education is a system with a distinguished past, increasing pride and unlimited potential.

Massachusetts Community College Mission Statement The fifteen Massachusetts Community Colleges offer open access to high quality, affordable academic programs, including associate degree and certificate programs. They are committed to excellence in teaching and learning and provide academic preparation for transfer to four-year institutions, career preparation for entry into high demand occupational fields, developmental coursework, and lifelong learning opportunities. Community colleges have a special responsibility for workforce development and through partnerships with business and industry, provide job training, retraining, certification, and skills improvement. In addition, they assume primary responsibility, in the public system, for offering developmental courses, programs, and other educational services for individuals who seek to develop the skills needed to pursue college-level study or enter the workforce. Rooted in their communities, the colleges serve as community leaders, identifying opportunities and solutions to community problems and contributing to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intellectual, cultural, and economic development. They collaborate with elementary and secondary education and work to ensure a smooth transition from secondary to post-secondary education. Through partnerships with baccalaureate institutions, they help to promote an efficient system of public higher education. The community colleges offer an environment where the ideas and contributions of all students are respected. Academic and personal support services are provided to ensure that all students have an opportunity to achieve academic and career success. No eligible student shall be deprived of the opportunity for a community college education in Massachusetts because of an inability to pay tuition and fees.

North Shore Community College Mission Statement North Shore Community College is a source of hope and opportunity and a regional leader for social and economic change. Blending tradition and innovation, liberal arts and career preparation, intellectual development and cultural and personal growth, we foster a diverse and caring community of learners where all are welcome and each is challenged. We offer lifelong education responsive to changing community needs, a global economy, evolving technology and the shifting roles faced by individuals and institutions. Our greatest contribution to the Commonwealth is the success and achievement of our students.

North Shore Community College Vision Statement North Shore Community College will be a catalyst for personal, community and regional change through education, training and civic engagement. The College will serve as a beacon of hope and opportunity for an increasingly diverse student body and be a respected, full partner with other public and private organizations seeking better lives for North Shore residents and a vibrant future for the region.

North Shore Community College Statement of Inclusion Our Commitment North Shore Community College has made a commitment to developing and maintaining an inclusive, proactive and empowered culture where diversity is a guiding value, not just in theory, but in practice.

NSCC’s Definition of Diversity Diversity takes many valued forms. It recognizes the integrity, contributions, strengths and viability of different cultural, language and social groups. Diversity includes, but is not limited to race/ethnicity, physical abilities/qualities, disability, gender, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, class, educational background, and employment category. True diversity implies a pluralistic campus, one that provides students, faculty and staff the opportunities to learn about, respect and appreciate each other’s cultures and backgrounds. Diversity is inclusive, encompassing everyone. It seeks to create an environment in which each person and every group fits, feels accepted, has value and contributes.

The Diversity Leadership Council (DLC) The DLC was made a standing committee of the governance structure in 2002, in recognition of the need for ongoing, legitimate and consistent attention to diversity issues at NSCC. The DLC is charged with developing and recommending policy and strategic planning outcomes regarding diversity issues, overseeing the development of the College’s Affirmative Action Plan, serving as a clearinghouse for activities relating to diversity and improving the institutional culture. Membership consists of faculty, staff and students representing various diverse clubs, offices and committees. The DLC has been focusing on four areas:

1. Identifying and ensuring the provision of services that meet the needs of our diverse student population. 2. Supporting the hiring and growth of diverse staff to higher level positions. 3. Raising awareness and celebrating diversity with activities such as Black History Month. 4. Incorporating diversity in the curriculum

National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) NSCC established a campus affiliate of the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) in 1995. Our NCBI Team has had membership of more than fifty individuals – faculty, classified and professional staff and students. NCBI is an international organization that has been providing prejudice reduction, diversity awareness, and conflict resolution training since 1984. Its proactive approach begins with the training of a corps of leaders who acquire the skills to deal effectively with inter-group conflicts. These leaders work in teams, using NCBI tools to deal with tough, polarized conflicts, or intervening at an early stage to promote an appreciation of diversity. The College’s cadre of trainers meets regularly to support each other and keep abreast of new approaches. New trainers who want to conduct workshops are nurtured and supported by their more seasoned teammates. The work in the classrooms provides connections among students and faculty. Each workshop demonstrates that it is possible to create a safe setting for talking about racism and other “isms” while at the same time challenging patterns of thinking and beliefs. The NSCC team also serves as an invaluable resource that has been called upon to respond to emotional and controversial issues on campus, such as 9/11, the war in Iraq and affirmative action. NCBI has become a cornerstone of the College’s commitment to welcoming diversity and ensuring a culture of respect on campus.

Major College Initiatives Sustainability On February 28, 2007 North Shore Community College became the 100th college nationwide to sign onto The American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). This step put in motion an expansion of the college’s commitment to environmental stewardship. The college is dedicated to: Protecting the environment by reducing its carbon footprint; incorporating environmental/sustainable curriculum, goals and objectives into its courses, programs and projects; and promoting a sense of environmental stewardship in the college community and North Shore region. Fall 2011 saw the completion of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ first Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Building. Civic Engagement NSCC embraces civic learning and democratic engagement as an undisputed education priority. NSCC strives to: create civic professionals and contribute to local and regional economic vitality, social and political wellbeing. NSCC received the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for exemplary service efforts for four consecutive years. In 2011, NSCC received the Community Engagement Classification from The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching - one of only 12 community colleges chosen out of the 115 U.S. colleges and universities who applied to receive the designation. Service-Learning For over a decade, NSCC has offered service-learning opportunities. Courses are offered in each academic division and nearly 60 full- and part-time faculty members work with about 500 Service-Learning students annually. Since 2006, one of the college’s most prominent service-learning experiences is sending students and staff to New Orleans to assist with post-Hurricane Katrina cleanup. Workforce Development North Shore Community College is a cornerstone of the region’s economic vitality and is a sought-after and respected partner in its overall growth and development. NSCC provides workforce development training and education in a broad array of programs designed in collaboration with regional business and industry for adults, English Language learners, career changers, and career seekers. The college is also an active participant with the North Shore Workforce Investment Board (NSWIB) and partners with the NSWIB and area Career Centers on multiple and varied adult learning and training initiatives.

Public Policy Institute NSCC’s Public Policy Institute (PPI), the only one of its kind at a community college in the United States, was created in 2006 to provide a vehicle whereby the college can actively engage in confronting and shaping the issues facing the communities it serves. The PPI strives to develop the ethic of public service and civic engagement in its students, staff and the North Shore Region. The PPI assists in expanding the college’s outreach efforts and response to regional needs and issues through civic education, economic development, and the facilitation of partnership collaborations.

The North Shore Community College Foundation, Inc. The NSCC Foundation works to raise funds to enhance and further develop educational excellence at North Shore Community College to help local citizens build a better future. Since NSCC is only partially supported by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the need for financial assistance is necessary to support the rising costs of providing quality educational programs and services to the local community. Under the direction of the Board of Directors, the NSCC Foundation solicits individual and corporate donations and receives bequests. As a qualified 501(c)(3) corporation, all gifts to The NSCC Foundation, Inc. are taxdeductible to the extent allowed by current law. The NSCC Foundation, Inc. presently manages a growing $5.8 million general endowment fund, named scholarship accounts, and general purpose grants to enhance educational and vocational opportunity for North Shore communities and beyond. NSCC Foundation, Inc. History As educational costs began to rise, so did the need for additional financial assistance for North Shore students. In 1983, the NSCC Foundation, Inc. was established by a small group of business and community leaders to build necessary endowment through private fund-raising to ensure quality and accessible education to deserving students. The mission of the Foundation is to raise funds for technical assistance, facilities, cultural programs and to aid financially burdened but academically distinguished North Shore Community College students. The fund-raising becomes more imperative as government continues to cut funds to education. Since 1985, the Foundation has raised and directly distributed $2,660,560 to more than 3,295 NSCC students. In 2012, with contributions of corporations and private individuals and service organizations, The NSCC Foundation, Inc. awarded more than $260,000 in scholarships to over 230 students. For many students, this aid tipped the scale, allowing them to continue their education. Financial awards range from $500 to $1,500. The Chart below illustrates the growth of NSCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Endowment:

Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) In 2011, North Shore Community College was one of eight Massachusetts Community Colleges participating in Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE). The 2011 CCSSE Cohort was composed of a total of 443,818 students at 699 institutions across 48 states and the District of Columbia, five Canadian provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec) as well as Bermuda, and Northern Marianas. Three hundred thirteen of these member colleges are classified as small (< 4,500), 185 as medium (4,500-7,999), 125 as large (8,000-14,999), and 76 as extra-large institutions (15,000 + credit students). One hundred forty-nine of the cohort member colleges are classified as urban-serving, 149 as suburban-serving, and 401 as rural-serving. NSCC falls into the medium size category and is classified as being located in a suburban-serving area. In CCSSE sampling procedures, students are sampled at the classroom level. Of those students sampled at NSCC, 657 respondents submitted usable surveys. The number of completed surveys produced an overall “percent of target” rate of 82%. Percent of target rate is the ratio of the adjusted number of completed surveys to target sample sizes. (The adjusted survey count is the number of surveys that were filled out properly and did not fall into any of the exclusionary categories. In addition to providing detailed frequency reports comparing NSCC data to both the Massachusetts consortium and the national cohort, CCSSE organized survey items into groups to develop benchmarks in four different areas: Student Effort, Academic Challenge, Student-Faculty Interaction, and Support for Learners. NSCC results can be seen below:

BENCHMARKS Student Effort: Students’ own behaviors contribute significantly to their learning and the likelihood that they will successfully attain their education goals. Eight survey items were combined to define this benchmark. 

Prepared two or more drafts of a paper or assignment before turning it in (4c)



Worked on a paper or project that required integrating ideas or information from various sources (4d)



Come to class without completing readings or assignments (4e)



Used peer or other tutoring services (13d1)



Used skill labs (13e1)



Used a computer lab (13h1)

During the current school year: 

How many books did you read on your own (not assigned) for personal enjoyment or academic enrichment (6b)



How many hours did you spend in a typical week preparing for class (studying, reading, writing, rehearsing, or other activities related to your program) (10a)

Academic Challenge: Challenging intellectual and creative work is central to student learning and collegiate quality. Ten survey items address the nature and amount of assigned academic work, the complexity of cognitive tasks presented to students, and the standards faculty members use to evaluate student performance. 

Worked harder than you thought you could to meet an instructor’s standards or expectations

How much does your coursework at this college emphasize: 

Analyzing the basic elements of an idea, experience, or theory (5b)



Synthesizing and organizing ideas, information, or experiences in new ways (5c)



Making judgments about the value or soundness of information, arguments, or methods (5d)



Applying theories or concepts to practical problems or in new situations (5e)



Using information you have read or heard to perform a new skill (5f)

During the current school year: 

How many assigned textbooks, manuals, books, or book-length packs of course readings did you read (6a)



How many papers or reports of any length did you write (6c)



To what extent have your examinations challenged you to do your best work (7)

How much does this college emphasize: 

Encouraging you to spend significant amounts of time studying (9a)

Student-Faculty Interaction: In general, the more interaction students have with their teachers, the more likely they are to learn effectively and persist toward achievement of their educational goals. Personal interaction with faculty members strengthens students’ connections to the college and helps them focus on their academic progress. Working with an instructor on a project or serving with faculty members on a college committee lets students see first-hand how experts identify and solve practical problems. Through such interactions, faculty members become role models, mentors, and guides for continuous, lifelong learning. The six items used in this benchmark are: During the current school year, how often have you: 

Used e-mail to communicate with an instructor (4k)



Discussed grades or assignments with an instructor (4l)



Talked about career plans with an instructor or advisor (4m)



Discussed ideas from your readings or classes with instructors outside of class (4n)



Received prompt feedback (written or oral) from instructors on your performance (4o)



Worked with instructors on activities other than coursework (4q)

Student Success: Retention of First Time, Full-time Degree Seeking Students (FTFTDS) First-Year Retention Rate (Fall-to-Fall)

The first- time full-time degree seeking cohort is new to NSCC, having never attended college. FTFTDSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, enrolled full- time (12 or more credits) in a degree or certificate program, are tracked to determine a rate of return in the subsequent fall. These students, because of their full-time commitment to a degree program and lack of previous college experience, are considered likely to continue their studies at NSCC for more than one year. North Shore Community College meets or exceeds the Massachusetts Community College average of Fall-to-Fall retention for the past five years.

Duplicate Credentials Completions are reported by the number of credentials awarded in a given class. Students may earn more than one degree or certificate in a graduation year. In 2006 there were 37 cases of duplicate awards i.e., 802 graduates received 839 degrees and certificates. The number of students receiving multiple credentials within the same graduating class grew by 159.5% in the five years between 2006 and 2011. Due to a change in business practices, in the class of 2012 the number of duplicate graduates dropped to 37 graduates, returning to 2006 levels, and representing about 3.3% of total awards. The following chart shows the duplicate and nonduplicate degrees:
