Enrichment

NMC provides lifelong learning opportunities to regional residents by offering quality educational opportunities for all ages. Programs are designed to be flexible, convenient, and responsive to the needs of the community. Moreover, NMC is committed to enriching and broadening the knowledge base and cultural life of the community. It does so by offering a wide range of programs and curricula that emphasize continuing education, skill enhancement, professional development, and cultural and personal enrichment. The enrichment criteria measures how effectively NMC performs in responding to the community's learning needs in those areas.
