Jesse graduated with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts in December 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse was a student at Northern Essex before she had even donned her cap and gown for Sanborn Regional High School\u2019s graduation. Under dual enrollment, she earned both high school and college credit for courses taught by NECC faculty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was able to take five courses at NECC while still enrolled in high school, allowing me to<br \/>\nfulfill the credits I needed to graduate while getting a jump-start on earning my associate degree,\u201d she says. \u201cNECC offers online courses which were perfect for me to take while still<br \/>\nin high school.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Another perk, says the human ecology major at COA, is that NECC credits were transferable to most four-year institutions. Northern Essex, she says, is where she discovered what she loves \u2014 wildlife conservation research. She encourages others to use the college to discover what they love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake advantage of what NECC offers,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n<p>One day she hopes to work in wildlife conservation research biology, collecting data in the field while living and learning about different cultures and the needs of their environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Northern Essex alumna Jesse Gutierrez could impart one bit of advice on incoming students, she would tell them to get comfortable in the NECC Tutoring Center. \u201cStart doing your [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":30670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
