Roy, who also serves as communications coordinator for the organization\u2019s state branch, received the scholarship when she was an undergraduate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had an amazing time and therefore brought NECC into the mix of schools the organization reaches out to for possible applicants. That opportunity as an undergrad led me to have the role of communications coordinator for the state organization now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year the conference is May 30 through June 2.<\/p>\n<p>Ramirez, a general studies major at NECC is the liaison for NECC\u2019s Gender and Sexuality Alliance. She also works for Student Life as a work study student and is an orientation leader.
