On Tuesday March 5th approximately 90 of our automotive students boarded two buses for a field trip to Nashua Community College. Upon arrival at the college campus the students were directed into the auditorium where they received information about the courses offered at the college as well as the application process. After the orientation the students were divided into two groups and were given a tour of the college campus. When the tour of the campus was finished the automotive instructors at the college led our students on a guided tour through the newly renovated auto shop. The students learned that the college offers both auto repair and auto body repair as well. NCC is the only college in the state that offers auto body repair.
Automotive Technology is a two-year Associate Degree program that is designed to combine automotive technical training and academic course work to provide the student with the skills and knowledge needed for an exciting and rewarding career in the automotive service industry.
The Honda Automotive Technology program, otherwise known as PACT (Professional Automotive Career Training) is a partnership between Nashua Community College, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda/Acura Dealers. This associate degree program is designed to train students for employment in Honda/Acura dealerships and to prepare them for ASE Master Certification.
The Collision Repair Technology Program is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to enter the collision repair industry. The Collision Repair student will study the theory of repair and actually perform each of the different types of repairs (panel replacement, frame straightening, refinishing, etc.) on damaged vehicles.
At the end of the field trip NCC had lunch for the students and offered to waive the application fee for students who applied. About 25 students took advantage of the free application and each student that filled out an application received a T-shirt.

Criminal Justice

It’s hard to think about March and St. Patrick’s Day and not tip your hat to the Irish Immigrants that were some of the first Police Officers in the United States. In the mid 1800’s the Irish immigrants was beginning and they weren’t always welcomed. In 1844 the City of New York was plagued by crime and the city was considered unsafe both day and night. The Governor of New York created a unified force of 800 men to combat it the power to hire was bestowed upon the Mayor James Harper, a Protestant, who did not want the authority to hire to go to the Irish Catholic Ward and Aldermen bosses. In other words, the Irish need not apply.
Galway native Barney McGinniskin is generally acknowledged to be the first Irish-born cop in a major U.S. city. He was hired by the city of Boston in 1851. He was fired 3 years later when the infamous anti-Irish, anti-Catholic Know Nothing Party took control of the legislator.
In 1863, when the New York City Draft Riots arose, many of the Police Officers who help put the riots down were Irish. By this time the Irish Immigration was well underway. The Irish came to dominate local politics and police departments. The proud tradition of Irish Service in law enforcement was born.

This month in Graphic Arts started using the Smart Board for classroom instruction. The upgrade in technology in critical discourse is immeasurable. Seniors are knee-deep into internships as we partner
with Say It In Stitches, Concord Litho and NH Bindery for extra learning opportunities. Projects this month are CD Covers, Scratch Tickets, T-Shirts and a group collaboration project for Juniors, to
solve a real life graphic design industry solution.
Cosmetology
Post by: Kim Hannon
This quarter the seniors have turned the salon into a spa. They are studying the skills needed to give a great facial. The junior class continues to practice their braiding and marcel iron techniques. They soon will be moving onto shampooing and scalp massaging.
The senior class had a great opportunity to be part of the Board of Barbering, Cosmetology and Esthetics monthly meeting. The members of the Board graciously moved their meeting to our classroom. This allowed students to witness the decision-making process involving the safety of the consumer in our industry.
