Snacks for Our Heroes

Good morning friends!

Today I have been asked to share a really important announcement about how NCC is helping our NH healthcare workers during this stressful time. Enrollment specialist and NCC alumn Mackenzie Murphy and her mother, NH State Representative Nancy Murphy have set up a food drive and will be bringing snacks to health care workers. Most health care workers hardly have the time to take a lunch break, especially when hospitals are busy like they are now. NCC is working together to help bring our beloved health care workers a quick bite in between patients.

If you’d like to donate, you can drop snacks off at the NCC Campus. There will be two containers on at the front of the building; one is for drinks, and one for food. If you would like to make arrangements for someone to come pick it up instead, you can email Nancy Murphy at nancy.murphy@leg.state.nh.us or text Mackenzie at 603-493-1508. Please note: all packages must be sealed by the manufacturer, and must not require refrigeration.

You can find more information about the cause on their Facebook page by clicking this link:

Thank you for all of your support, and as always, reach out if you have questions or content you’d like to share!

Staying Organized

With the transition to online learning, staying organized is going to be difficult. Here are three quick tips to keeping yourself organized with this new platform! 1. Keep a Planner When you’re working from home, it can be easy to forget what time, day, or even week it is. Keeping a planner and updating it daily is vital for keeping track of due dates and schedules. When you don’t have a regular class schedule, it’s important to keep a planner so that you know when your Zoom meetings are, when your assignments are due, and how that fits in with the rest of your schedule. There are so many online planner resources if you prefer to do it on your phone or computer; otherwise, Amazon has excellent planner options as well. 2. Continue to Use a School Bag I know it sounds kind of strange to use a bag when you’re staying home all day, but hear me out. If you still keep all of your stuff in your bag, not only have you contained the mess of schoolwork that you have, but y...

Mackenzie Murphy on "Snacks for Those Who Have Our Backs"

I've always been someone who has been involved in the community. I have always had a passion for making a difference and giving back to those in need. Much of my involvement and love for serving others, stems from the way I was raised. I am one of six kids, with the last three of us having been adopted. My mom is a retired nurse and worked for the State of NH, so I was raised with foster children and teenagers living with us for much of my childhood. Through the years, I have learned to never judge a book by its cover, to always help out those who may need a helping hand and make sure I give back to those who give so much, as my parents have been shining examples throughout my life. Through my involvement, I have served on many different community boards and organizations and tried to lend a hand whenever I saw the opportunity. However, I always felt like I wasn't doing "enough" and wanted to make a bigger impact. The perfect moment came when I was on a Zoom ca...
