Neela Saxena
I have taught at Nassau since 1996. I teach various courses including Science Fiction, Women's and Gender Studies and Multi-Disciplinary courses. I also am a scholar of the world's religions. I have extensively published scholarly articles in many national and international publications and wrote two books: "Absent Mother God of the West: A Kali Lover's Journey into Christianity and Judaism" and "In the Beginning IS Desire: Tracing Kali's Footprints in Indian Literature."
I also write a blog called Stand Under the Mother Principle. My fondest memory at NCC is from the WST 110: The Goddess in World Religions class that I created when a young student remembered a complex thought I had taught in the class even after the semester had ended. This inspired me to complete my second book. Nassau Community College is special to me because it gives me the widest possible academic freedom for expanding my horizon and enriching my scholarly pursuits.

I served in the United States Navy in Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, II and at Camp Pendleton with the 5th Marines. I was also deployed to Okinawa, Japan twice. Stateside, I knew that Nassau Community College has a reputation for being very military friendly, and when I got here, it was true.

"I served in the United States Navy in San Diego from 2014 to 2021, first on the USS Harpers Ferry and then on the USS Rushmore. When it was time for me to attend college, I chose NCC because it's veteran friendly and offers many different programs.
