Professor Michael Penta, Computer & Information Sciences Faculty
campuses are a short drive to Boston and to the beaches and state parks along the coast.
NECC has been building an organizational culture that prizes initiative and innovation, and seeks to identify and develop the strengths in students, faculty, staff, and programs in order to grow and improve.
If the energy and enthusiasm Professor Penta brings to a class- room could be harnessed, it could easily power the computers he uses to teach computer programming while integrating video game design, robotics, and math. Professor Penta is himself a community college success story.
After enrolling in “Introduction to Computer Science with Visual Basic” class at Middlesex Community College (MCC), he learned he was programmed to program. An associate’s degree from MCC led to a bachelor’s degree in computer science from UMass Lowell. During this time he was asked to teach video game programming to sixth-grade summer campers. He accepted the challenge and learned something else about himself – he loved teaching. “I could not stop teaching. I chose a community college because my experience at MCC changed my life forever.”
Employment We are also committed to the recruitment, retention and non- discrimination of a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We are an affiliate of the National Coalition Building Institute, and our Lawrence campus is the only college in New England designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education. We have significantly increased the diversity of our faculty over the last five years, and are one of four Massachusetts colleges participating in the national Achieving the Dream initiative, which aims to improve success for low-income students and students of color at community colleges. We are seeking faculty and staff who are committed to the community college mission, actively engaged in promoting diversity, and prepared to use their unique strengths to experiment and inno- vate in the name of student success.
