A Year of Virtual Support |
|
The NESC staff embraced virtual learning during the 2020-21 school year with student and adult learners across North Dakota! To ensure a high-quality experience for all, the NESC committed to the establishment of a studio and Virtual Support Network. Two studios have been fully functional within the NESC office since Fall 2020, and staff have been able use these studios to facilitate live events while also creating recorded video events for access on-demand. The studios are used daily to deliver a wide variety of learning opportunities to both NESC and statewide participants.

Virtual SCRUBS Camp Hits Record Participant Numbers |
|
The NESC hosted the 2021 Virtual R-COOL-Health SCRUBS Camp on March 25th for 630 fifth and sixth grade students and their 53 teachers/chaperones from across the NESC region! Camp participants engaged through Zoom from 14 member schools including Dakota Prairie, Devils Lake CMS, Edmore, Lakota, Langdon, Leeds, Maddock, Minnewaukan, Mount Pleasant-Rolla, Pingree-Buchanan, St. Alphonsus, St. Joseph's, Starkweather, and Tate Topa.
The healthcare sessions focused on education pathways, career opportunities, and hands-on activities. A broad array of careers were available for students to explore including nurse, fitness trainer technician, chiropractor, dentist, nurse practitioner, public health professional, physical therapist, radiology technician, and veterinarian.
The NESC thanks its SCRUBS Camp partners, including UND Rural Health, Lake Region State College Dakota Nursing Programs in Devils Lake, Grand Forks and Mayville, Lake Region State College Fitness Trainer Technician Program, Area Health Education Center (AHEC) in Mayville, Altru Clinic Devils Lake, CHI St. Alexius Hospital Devils Lake, Devils Lake Economic Development, Devils Lake Kiwanis Club, the Devils Lake Rotary Club, and Be More Colorful.
