Get Involved this week: Sept 8-11

Through the Get Involved Co-Curricular Record portal, students are able to access and populate their Co-Curricular Record (CCR) which is an official Niagara College document.

Every Monday, the Get Involved NC newsletter is sent out to everyone registered on the portal through the internal messaging feature. This message can be sent through to their preferred email address if students opt in to receive portal messaging this way. The Get Involved NC newsletter goes out at the beginning of each week in order to highlight the opportunities and events occurring that week, in addition to the volunteer opportunities that are currently open for students to sign up.

If you have opportunities that you would like to be featured on the flyer board and are unsure of how to proceed, please the Student Engagement and Development Coordinator, Carolyn Finlayson at [email protected]

Here is a quick snapshot of some of the exciting events and activities taking place over the next week! Check the getinvolved.niagaracollege.ca flyer board for full details.
