50 years of making waves

Community powered

Where connection and collaboration make the difference

NIC’s journey has always been powered by community. From the start, the college has grown through strong relationships with the communities it serves. Whether through philanthropy that opens doors, collaborations that support regional businesses or partnerships that bring new perspectives from around the world, NIC’s community connections help create opportunities for students.

The people of NIC

Individual strength makes a collective impact

We are stronger together, and value the exchange of knowledge, stories and talent. The people behind NIC are there every step of the way on our students' journeys. We're committed to creating a place for everyone, in any season.
