Meet Brandon Heald
Brandon Heald had multiple barriers related to learning difficulties and anxiety before the start of fall quarter 2022, but due to a nurturing faculty and his own perseverance, he is seeing these barriers fade away. At NSC, Brandon has been able to secure the prospects for a professional life, in a family-oriented atmosphere. Brandon chose to attend NSC to complete his engineering transfer degree by the end of 2023.
Legislative Priority: Expand Opportunity for Students and Employers
Fully funding our budget requests will have real returns for students like Brandon Heald and for the communities and employers in our area. Students will learn from competitively-paid experts who choose to work at North Seattle College rather than pursue higher paying positions with private employers or K-12 schools. Our students will train for careers in robust workforce programs, with modern equipment and learning spaces that mirror their future work environments. We will be able to expand technology to bring a college education to more people in more ways, which is especially important for working adults. And, all our students will benefit from an inclusive environment where they are valued, supported and equipped to reach their goals.
North Seattle College will also receive funding to operate and maintain existing facilities.
