Contest Press Release

Green, its a familiar site on the Northern Maine Community College campus as the schools official color, but green is about to take on a whole new meaning at NMCC, as "Go! Green!", an energy challenge engaging students, is launched in the coming weeks.

The contest will require students to work in teams to develop unique and creative solutions for energy efficiency. It will also generate some additional green  in the form of savings for both the College, which would see a cut in its energy costs, and for the winning student team, which will receive the equivalent of two full-time student tuition waivers for a semester.
