March

We started 2nd semester off in February with juniors feeling more comfortable with what to expect and seniors settling into their final semester at NCSSM. During the month we played a chain reaction game with 2nd West, open gym, presentation night, welcomed back an alum, sock wrestled and enjoyed our yum yum box!

Birthday Celebration & Hall Food Sign Up

HERE is the link to provide a birthday celebration or hall food for the 2nd half of the year. Just like first semester, families can work together to provide food for the hall. It was really appreciated when there was a "spread" to enjoy. They felt extremely grateful and were very appreciative of the thoughtfulness that went into providing for them. Not to mention other halls were jealous that we were able to enjoy food so often. Thank you again for helping bring 1st Hunt together through sharing food together!

S'mores Items: We'll be having s'mores with another hall on Thursday, March 20th. If you would like to contribute to s'mores supplies, you can find them HERE on our Amazon Wish List!

Hall Food

Jordan McLeod '21 drove all the way from UNCW and back for our hall meeting in February. While at UNCW, he has done it all... from SG, clubs, and more. He was even recently featured in the UNCW magazine for one of his clubs.

Beyond Hunt

Yum Yum Box - Turkey

In February, we traveled to Turkey for our yum yum box. It was a hit!

Get excited about what's to come next month on 1st Hunt:

Campus Wide Reminders/Information

“The Prom Committee is excited to extend an invitation to all residential students to join us for a night at the Medieval Promenade of 2025. Prom will occur on April 5th from 8pm-12am at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham. Click HERE for details about the event, how to purchase tickets, important forms, transportation options, and more!

Each year, the Prom Committee invites NCSSM families to participate in the festivities by volunteering the night of Prom at the Museum of Life and Science. There are many opportunities to be involved, from helping out with set up, to organizing the coat check, to serving appetizers, desserts, and drinks, to directing students throughout the museum, and of course the dash to clean everything up and pack it away in record time at the end of the night. Even if you can’t join us at the museum for prom night, you have the opportunity to purchase desserts for students to enjoy! For more information about volunteering at Prom, check out this link and be on the lookout for an email from Trish Aiello in the coming weeks for signups! 


In keeping with tradition, Student Life will also host an After Prom event for students to enjoy late night pizza in the PEC after prom ends. Additional details about the event and how to participate will be shared with students in future communications.


As you and your student make plans for Prom 2025, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Prom Coordinators at prom@ncssm.edu with any questions.”


“Just a quick reminder that the Residence Halls will be closing on Friday, March 21st at 5:00pm. Halls will reopen on Monday, March 24th at noon.

Students will submit an Overnight pass on Orah before or during our hall meeting right before the Extended Weekend. On this Orah pass, they indicate where they are going for the break, who they are traveling with, and how they are getting to their destination. If students have specific questions about checkout procedures for the Extended Weekend, they should speak to me.”

“Juniors and Seniors will receive an email with information concerning move-out in the next week or two. In the meantime, best practice is to start evaluating which items you may be able to take home over the upcoming extended weekend and spring break.  The more items you can get home over our final extended weekends of the year, the easier move-out will be for you. Good items to consider taking home are winter coats and clothes, extra furniture, and large items.”
