News and Updates For You
Welcome to the monthly e-newsletter for NHTI alumni and community supporters. We want to keep you up-to-date on our academic programs, upcoming events, and let you know how you can support and stay in touch with us. Thank you for being part of NHTI - Concord's Community College.
NHTI Welcome Message
It is hard to believe that we are more than halfway through 2021 but here we are. With all the buzz and activity on campus, time is just flying by. We have in-person summer classes happening, many renovation projects going on in multiple buildings, and are registering and getting students ready for the Fall.

I have been busy trying to remember how "to do" in-person events again as an organizer and attendee. The last 16 months has shifted my work but I am looking forward to inviting alumni and community members back onto campus for many exciting educational, entertainment, and fundraising events. I will make sure to let you know about them so you can attend.

With the campus opening again, if you are in the area, please do feel free to stop by and say hi. I am always very happy to meet NHTI alumni and community supporters. I love hearing your stories and what NHTI means to you. I hope to see you soon.

Alumni Spotlight -
Kirby Clang, General Studies (2011)
In 2007, I was a recent N.H. high school graduate and, like many others, I was unsure of what to do after high school. Many of my friends were gearing up for college while I still had not made a concrete plan of what I wanted to do with my life.

After contemplating and understanding that I wanted to continue my education, NHTI became my plan.

Thank you to those of you that volunteered your time and talent to be part of our three summer "selfie" commercials. If you have not already seen them, you can watch them here.

Since this was such a hit, we are going to be doing some more commercials on campus in the Fall and need your help. We are looking for alumni that are working in the health care, engineering, and business fields to be spotlighted in these commercials.
