Message From the Alumni President

Lori M. Jorge

As the President of the Alumni Association of Nassau Community College, I want to share a message of HOPE. HOPE, in our context, signifies "Happiness in achieving our Objectives by Participating and by Elevating us to the highest standards we set for ourselves." The achievements we have made over the years at Nassau Community College speak volumes about our dedication and commitment.

I am immensely grateful and appreciative to be the President of the Alumni Association of Nassau Community College. During my tenure, we made our presence known throughout the NCC community.

Our active participation in both on-campus and off-campus events this past year, showcased our dedication to making a positive impact on our students. We contributed to the Breast Cancer event of 2023, played a pivotal role in welcoming prospective students during the open house in October 2023, and continued our engagement with events like Homecoming/Alumni Day in October 2023.

We also supported NCC Foundation Gala at 2023 and look forward in continuing the same support.

As we entered 2024, our commitment extended in supporting different departments here at Nassau Community College. We supported the MWBE opening, supported student activity night, and paid for speakers during special events in March 2024.  In April 2024, we held our Honoree Dinner, a memorable occasion that united the NCC community in honoring outstanding individuals. The positive feedback and ongoing interest in this event underscore its success.

In May, as the college year drew to a close, we attended the Presidential Awards Dinner, we organized a membership drive for graduating students during cap and gown distribution, attended a pre-graduation celebration and celebrated the graduation ceremony at the end of May 2024.

Furthermore, in early June 2024, we conducted our Board elections and extended our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Lynne Nadien, Elizabeth Wellington, Valerie Anderson Campbell, Nsikak Ekong, Kevell Allie, Kevin Sabella on their re-election to the Alumni Association Board. We also extend a warm welcome to Karren Ross-Fortunet, as a new Board Director, and bid farewell to Paul Tringali, our retiring Advisory Board Member and Past President, wishing him all the best.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire Alumni Board for actively participating and attending the events organized by Nassau Community College. Your dedication and involvement are instrumental in making our Alumni Association a resounding success.

I also want to extend our gratitude to Dr. Maria Conzatti, Chief Administrative Officer, the NCC Foundation and the entire foundation staff, as well as everyone at the college, for your unwavering support and assistance. Together, we are 

NCC ALUMNI ON THE MOVE.

With the deepest appreciation, I pledge to continue serving the Alumni Association of NCC to the best of my ability.

Warm regards,

Lori M. Jorge '98 President Alumni Association of Nassau Community College
