Welcome to NCSSM and 3rd West!

Hello Everyone. I am Alex Currin and  I will be your Community Coordinator this year.  I am reaching out today to share with you several resources that will help you prepare for the transition to NCSSM and life on 3rd West.  I know the transition to NCSSM can be a lot, and I look forward to helping you navigate your time here; it is also my first week at NCSSM and can't wait explore the campus and culture here alongside you!  Please check back here in a few days, as I am working a video tour of the hall that I wills share here !

I want to take a moment to highlight the purpose of this website and all the resources contained within. The hall site has lots of helpful information for you.  On the home page you will see the 3rd West Activities calendar, the School Activities calendar, and the Academic Calendar.   The leadership page of the site includes an introduction to me and an explanation of my role, as well as brief introductions to our amazing team of Residential Life Assistants (RLAs) and their role on hall. There are also pages of resources for both students and families; these are meant to be helpful hubs where you can find reminders of policies and any links you may be looking for.

The Asian Student Association (ASA) would like to invite the NCSSM community to the last cultural fest of the year, Asiafest! ASA learns to confront diverse challenges through mutual understanding and collaboration to bring Asian unity and cultural appreciation to the next level.


Asiafest: The Next Level will be April 20th at 6pm. All are welcome to attend the event, but due to limited seating, audience members must reserve a slot here (at no cost). Please be prepared to show your email confirmation at the door.

“The Senior Leadership Campus Service process is coming to a close. Senior Leadership announcements will be sent out on Tuesday, April 16 at 4:00pm and applicants will have until Friday, April 19 to submit their decisions to program coordinators. Please note that the SLSC process does not account for every senior campus service assignment. Juniors should reach out to any employees that they may be interested in working with next year if they chose not to participate in the SLCS process.”

“On Saturday, April 13th, NCSSM’s 2024 Prom “Moonlit Meadows” will take place in the Museum of Life and Science. Pre-sale tickets are $50 and may be purchased here until April 12th, and day-of tickets will be $60 in exact change.

Parents! Parent volunteers can help with food prep, clean-up, decorating, ticket sales, coat check, and more, and are always essential for creating a beautiful Prom night. Sign up here if you’re interested in lending a helping hand!

“The Spring Final Assessment Schedule has been shared by Academic Programs.  Synchronous final assessment blocks are arranged to minimize exam conflicts and to minimize conflicts with the AP Exams scheduled for Friday, May 17.  Academic Programs will work directly with students and instructors to resolve those conflicts in the weeks before the end of the semester.  As in previous semesters, Academic Programs have indicated deadlines for submitting projects, papers, and take-home exams by academic discipline to ensure that all asynchronous assessments are not due at the same time.”
