Northern Essex Community College is a public, two-year col- lege that offers comprehensive academic programs of study leading to the Associate in Arts degree, the Associate in Science degree and Certificates of program completion.
At our campuses in Haverhill and Lawrence, online, and at partnering locations across the Merrimack Valley, we offer classes that work for your schedule, faculty who are experts in their fields, and staff committed to helping students get to where they want to be. NECC provides a wide variety of classes, in more than 70 degree and certificate programs, to prepare students for transfer to a four-year college or university, or to enter the workforce. We also have a full range of support services including career planning and advising, financial aid assistance, veteran’s services, tutoring servic- es for those with disabilities, child care and more. The college is a valuable community resource, providing cus- tomized training and a skilled workforce for area employers, and cultural and educational opportunities for people of all ages from summer camps for children to lifelong learning programs for seniors. Our dedicated teaching faculty accept with enthusiasm the challenge of responding properly to the differing backgrounds of their students and, at the same time, directing and leading them toward broader understandings. Our faculty are deeply involved in the planning of each class and in the achievement of each student, and are equally dedicated to personal achievement. As well as the specialized academic opportunities and tutoring that the college pro- vides for our students, our faculty have the time and the commitment to advise as well as instruct students, and to provide support and encouragement.
Ligia Domenech, Global Studies Faculty
As a four-year-old growing up in Puerto Rico, Professor Domenech pretended to teach her nursery of dolls and stuffed ani- mals. It wasn’t until she was 35 that she got to play the role of his- tory professor. Now 47, she has been teaching in NECC’s Department of Global Studies since the fall of 2011. “I have loved teaching since day one. I love young people and I love the chance I have to open their minds to ideas they had never considered before…and to instill in them a curiosity for other cultures and ways of thinking,” she says.
Judith Pollock-Ciampi, Paralegal Studies Program Coordinator and Professor at NECC
“I enjoy spreading my love of the law with others and inspiring them to pursue a career in the law,” she says. “NECC is a great place to see if the law is the right career path for you.” Northern Essex’s Paralegal Studies Program is one of only six American Bar Association (ABA) approved programs in Massachusetts. Students can enter the workforce or prepare to transfer to a four-year college. According to Professor Pollock- Ciampi, graduates work in all areas of the law including criminal, family, real estate, corporate, insurance, administrative law, person- al injury, bankruptcy, and immigration Professor Pollock-Ciampi has a strong and varied professional background which includes years of being a corporate attorney and an educator. "I engage my students by always trying new and inno- vative teaching techniques and by bringing my real life legal experi- ence into the classroom,” she says.
When Ligia Domenech steps into a classroom she brings her interest in history, teaching, and human drama with her. As a social worker who went on to earn a master’s in Caribbean Anthropology and a PhD in the History of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, Professor Domenech sees a connection between all these subjects. “I guess all are related because they deal with human actions,” she says. “I am fascinated by the capacities of human beings to create drama.”
