Barnstead Resident Honored With Student Of The Year Award

 

Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) honored Rhonda Gagnon of Center Barnstead with the Student of the Year Award at their recent Commencement Ceremony.

 

"With the support of my family, I am pleased to be able to attend LRCC’s Nursing Program," says Gagnon, who also serves as the College’s Student Senate President. "I feel honored to receive the Student of the Year Award and it has come as a great surprise being a freshman. I enjoy being able to help improve student life on campus."

 

Gagnon was the force behind a new student lounge, financed by the Student Senate, which included an electronically friendly counter for students to have more access to "plug-in" numerous devices. The space also offers a place for many students to be able to have a home-away-from-home environment.

 

Gagnon plans to graduate in May 2013 from LRCC with the Associate Degree as a Registered Nurse following completion of the State’s Nursing Board Exams. She then plans to continue for her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing at Southern New Hampshire University, specializing in the field of maternity and obstetrics.

 

Lakes Region Community College is a fully accredited, comprehensive community college located in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire that serves over 1,200 students annually. LRCC offers 23 associate degree programs including Nursing, Fire Technology, Energy Services, Media Arts, Culinary Arts, Automotive, and Marine Technology, as well as short-term certificate programs. In addition, LRCC provides a strong background in Liberal Arts for students who choose to do their first two years at a community college and then transfer to a four-year college or university for a baccalaureate degree.

Letter To The Editor

 

Congressman Frank Guinta held a hearing about the Great Bay this week, supporting weaker standards for nitrogen in Great Bay. Frank Guinta wants more than that. He wants to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, and he voted to strip its authority to set water quality levels at all. He serves polluters, not us, and they reward him to do their work in Congress.

Letter To The Editor

 

I am writing this letter to commen Frank Gatcomb for his letter "No Respect." I am in total agreement with his views on the matter of how our dear Patriotic songs have been destroyed by recent renditions - these songs were written for and sung by people who loved this country and were sung with great reverance and respect.

 

Frank and I were former classmates at Sanborn Seminary in Kinsgton, class of 1961.

Thanks, Frank, for your thoughts and thanks to The Suncook Valley Sun for printing Frank’s letter.
