As an SLI, I know how important relationships are for NCSSM students, whether with hallmates, classmates or teachers. And as an alumna, I also know that these relationships stay with you long after NCSSM. Many of those relationships are built after classes end. Loops to Southpoint on the short bus, watching friends perform at Koffeehaus and Airband, or dancing the night away at Prom are all experiences that help form amazing relationships. The Annual Fund is crucial to making possible so many of the activities that students enjoy and share with their friends. I’m proud to know that alumni support builds the foundation for lifelong relationships by keeping these activities and traditions alive for the next generation of Unis. I hope you join me and the more than 1,300 alumni who have given to the Annual Fund!
