NMCC students are Maine all-stars
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Two Northern Maine Community College students are receiving $500 scholarships and have been named to the All-Maine Academic Team for two-year colleges.Crystal Condo and Amanda Eivers, both of Presque Isle, were honored March 23, 2016, during a ceremony at the Senator Inn in Augusta. The Maine Community College System Board of Trustees hosted the event, which honors two students from each of Maine’s community colleges.
Condo is enrolled in NMCC’s Health Information Management program. She has a 3.75 grade point average, volunteers as an advocate for the homeless and has been involved in several on-campus fundraisers. A mother of two, she plans to continue her education to become a registered health information administrator.

She plans to enter the workforce when she graduates while completing her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing. She is currently the president of the college’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa and maintains a 4.0 grade point average.
