Whether you’re a new or returning student at NCC, Student Life serves as a resource for everyone. Led by a team dedicated to enhancing the student experience, Student Life continues to introduce new tools and opportunities designed to support campus involvement.

From joining clubs and participating in events to building valuable leadership and networking skills, the possibilities are wide. Miles Molerio, Assistant Director of Student Life: Leadership and Clubs, describes it perfectly: “[Student Life] helps students connect, lead, explore different interests, and feel like they belong.”

As many students may have noticed, N-Gage, what Molerio describes as a “one-stop shop,” is quickly becoming the central hub for campus involvement. Gone are the days of scouring the website for club contacts or searching through bulletin boards packed with event flyers. With N-Gage, students can easily browse clubs, explore upcoming events, and even showcase their own involvement on campus.

Another feature that is expected to be especially helpful is the ability to check in at events. By simply scanning a QR code, students can easily keep track of the events they attend.
While many students have embraced the implementation of N-Gage this semester, suggestions for improvement have not gone unheard. Molerio shared that by working closely with the company, Student Life was able to quickly respond to student feedback by introducing a new “RSVP tracker” feature, which is now available.

The updates do not stop there. “Anything we can’t or haven’t yet implemented is coming down the pipeline,” Molerio said. Additional features, such as customizable forms, meeting minutes, space for bylaws and constitutions, and even push notifications, are all currently in development.

Another major goal will be using N-Gage to show students community service initiatives. Students seeking volunteer opportunities, whether that’s on campus or within a short commute, will be able to find those options directly through the platform.
Student Life prioritizes student feedback, encouraging students to keep an eye out for forms distributed throughout the semester. By gathering input on what students think, what they want to see, and what they are interested in, the department continues to highlight the importance of listening to the students. As Molerio adds, “at the end of the day, this is all for students.”

Getting involved can feel intimidating, especially with the wide range of clubs and events available. If you’re feeling that way, you’re not alone. Still, Molerio encourages students to take that first step by downloading the app and browsing the list of clubs and upcoming events on N-Gage.

As he reassures students, “the worst thing that could happen is you don’t like it then you don’t have to do it again.” With some clubs offering a more laid-back atmosphere and others providing a higher level of engagement, N-Gage gives students the opportunity to find what fits them best.

To get started with N-Gage, search “Suitable” in your app store or scan the QR code(s) on this page to download the app. Once installed, log in using your NCC email and be sure to enable notifications so you don’t miss out on campus events and updates.
If you are having trouble accessing the app, you can also use the NCCGo app by navigating to the “Campus Life” drop-down menu and selecting “N-Gage.” Students may also access the platform through a web browser by visiting app.suitable.co. Whether using the app or the web version, simply log in with your NCC credentials to get started.
