April 2024
APRIL ALREADY?!?!
With Spring Break over, the year is rapidly coming to an end! It's already been moving so quickly, but everything really picks up once Spring Break is done. In a blink, our juniors will be moving out and our seniors will be graduating! I hope you're all emotionally preparing - I'm doing my best, but this is my first graduating group that I've had their entire time here. I am unwell!!!!

March in Pictures
Asia Fest
The Asian Student Association (ASA) would like to invite the NCSSM community to the last cultural fest of the year, Asiafest! ASA learns to confront diverse challenges through mutual understanding and collaboration to bring Asian unity and cultural appreciation to the next level.
Asiafest: The Next Level will be April 20th at 6pm. All are welcome to attend the event, but due to limited seating, audience members must reserve a slot here (at no cost). Please be prepared to show your email confirmation at the door.
Senior Leadership Campus Service Update
The Senior Leadership Campus Service process is coming to a close. Senior Leadership announcements will be sent out on Tuesday, April 16 at 4:00pm and applicants will have until Friday, April 19 to submit their decisions to program coordinators. Please note that the SLSC process does not account for every senior campus service assignment. Juniors should reach out to any employees that they may be interested in working with next year if they chose not to participate in the SLCS process.
NCSSM Prom 2024
On Saturday, April 13th, NCSSM’s 2024 Prom “Moonlit Meadows” will take place in the Museum of Life and Science. Pre-sale tickets are $50 and may be purchased here until April 12th, and day-of tickets will be $60 in exact change. If your student is planning to stay off campus on the night of Prom, please fill out the Student Travel Permission form with those details by April 8th.
Parents! Parent volunteers can help with food prep, clean-up, decorating, ticket sales, coat check, and more, and are always essential for creating a beautiful Prom night. Sign up here if you’re interested in lending a helping hand!
For more information about our prom, check out the NCSSM Prom Website, and feel free to email prom@ncssm.edu with any questions.
Spring Final Assessment Schedule
The Spring Final Assessment Schedule has been shared by Academic Programs. Synchronous final assessment blocks are arranged to minimize exam conflicts and to minimize conflicts with the AP Exams scheduled for Friday, May 17. Academic Programs will work directly with students and instructors to resolve those conflicts in the weeks before the end of the semester. As in previous semesters, Academic Programs have indicated deadlines for submitting projects, papers, and take-home exams by academic discipline to ensure that all asynchronous assessments are not due at the same time.
