This year, NHTI–Concord’s Community College turns 60. As NHTI celebrates this milestone, the college invites alumni to return to campus on September 20 for a Homecoming Weekend lunch.

“Whether you’re a member of our first class in 1965 or a recent graduate, we would love to see you,” said NHTI president Patrick Tompkins.

Alumni and their families are invited to join fellow classmates for lunch on Saturday, September 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The outdoor event includes food trucks, yard games, and music.

“The campus will be buzzing with activity,” said NHTI director of athletics, Annie Mattarazzo. “Come early and catch a game in our volleyball tournament, or cheer on your Lynx team during our baseball double header in the afternoon.”

While on campus, alumni can enjoy a wide variety of athletic games and activities, including AerospaceFest hosted by McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“This is a great opportunity to see how your college has grown over the years to support the next generation of students,” said Tompkins.

“We are fondly known as ‘The Tech’, but we have evolved into so much more,” Tompkins continued. “Every year we are adding new programs that directly meet our state’s workforce needs—in recent years that’s meant a huge healthcare focus.”

Today the college offers 70+ programs ranging from early childhood education and nursing to criminal justice, carpentry, software development, and paralegal studies.

Alumni are invited to celebrate NHTI’s 60 years of innovative education and community impact by attending Homecoming Weekend on September 20. Learn more and register for the event at nhti.edu/alumni.
