A MESSAGE FROM JAMES HORROCKS, NSCC FOUNDATION PRESIDENT

After I retired, it was an honor to have the title of Professor Emeritus conferred upon me by the College. I surely want to invest in NSCC for the future so that more and more students will have the means to study at the College and also benefit from the Forums on Tolerance. My dear wife, Fran, and I have set aside in our estate planning a specific distribution upon our deaths to be used for the NSCC Forum on Tolerance Endowment Fund and a second specific distribution to perpetuate the Professor Sheldon Brown Tolerance Scholarship for a deserving student or students.”

Dr. Sheldon Brown

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

On behalf of The North Shore Community College Foundation, I extend a heartfelt thank you to our new and long-standing donors, whose philanthropic investment has advanced this incredible college and transformed the future for thousands of students. Donations to the NSCC Foundation make a direct, tangible, and measurable impact in the lives of North Shore residents. With your support, we will continue to strengthen the power of higher education, empower student success, and help build a strong, vibrant North Shore region for us all.

With gratitude,

James Horrocks
