Hall Programming Recap:

We have had so many wonderful programs on Third Beall so far this year! With over 50 programs offered in the Fall Semester, I hope every student was able to find something they enjoyed and had plenty of fun on hall. This group of 3rd Beallians is so special, and I have loved seeing them grow closer through our hall events! Our hall is so close to one another and the relationship they have warms this CC's heart every day!

January Term:

January Term (J-Term) is a special session during which NCSSM provides significant opportunities for students to engage in unique educational experiences. These experiences include both regular coursework, offered in a different format, and unique learning opportunities beyond the standard curriculum, both in and out of the traditional classroom context. J-Term aims to engage students in a rigorous exploration of a subject area of great interest in a way that contributes to their academic and personal growth and serves them well in their future academic aspirations. J-Term also provides an opportunity for students to interact with their peers from our Morganton campus; some Morganton students will be visiting Durham for their classes, and vice-versa. J-Term travel courses also include students from both campuses.

MLK Jr. Day of Service:

On Monday, January 15th, NCSSM will celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy by having a day dedicated to community service, education, and unity. The day is considered part of the academic calendar and the expectation is that students participate fully in the day’s activities and events.

Residence Halls Closing & Opening:

Just a quick reminder that the Residence Halls will be closing on Thursday, January 25th at 5:00pm. Halls will reopen on Sunday, January 28th at noon.

Students will complete an electronic Extended Sign-Out Form during hall meeting. On this form they indicate where they are going for the break, who they are traveling with, and how they are getting to their destination. If students have specific questions about checkout procedures for Extended Weekends, they should speak to me.
