New Sustainability Initiative
North Hennepin has launched a new sustainability initiative, and we held an event on Earth Week to publicize our efforts in conjunction with Will Steger’s keynote. You can watch a video and learn more. And you can watch me sign my name over and over again at a press event.
NHCC Gala Success!
Thanks to all those who worked so hard, we had a wonderfully successful fundraiser Gala early this month, not only meeting but exceeding our fundraising goals–a remark fact in the face of the financial realities these days. In spite of pay freezes, employees gave more than ever earlier this year to raise money for scholarships, and now at our major fundraiser event we raised 30% more than the previous year. Why? Because we are inspired by our students. You can be inspired, too…check out the video we showed at the Gala.
Entrepreneurship Communities of Color Certificate

The 13-week certificate will focus on minority-owned businesses and the removal of cultural barriers to entrepreneur success. Come to learn about this unique and powerful program and meet and greet successful community leaders and business owners. More information at http://www.nhcc.edu/Announcements/ECC.aspx.
