Alumni Spotlight

Chelsea Helms, AA Liberal Arts and Sciences, 2012

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time attending North Country Community College. There were always fun events held that brought students together, which created an inviting atmosphere. More importantly, my professors were incredible. When getting an associate's degree you are typically forced to take several classes you likely don't care to take. At NCCC, the educators are passionate about what they teach, which in turn made me passionate about subjects I normally wouldn't have otherwise enjoyed."

After she graduated from North Country Community College in December 2012, Chelsea Helms persued a Bachelor's Degree at SUNY Plattsburgh. Upon graduation in May 2015, she moved to Grand Junction, Colorado where she worked for KREX5/FOX4. Over her three years there, she worked her way up through the ranks.
