NSCS Alumni Advisory Board

First came the question, “What is NSCS?” Then came the induction. You saw that your chapter organized a variety of services and social events. You may have participated in them and also may have decided to become an officer. Graduation came and went.

Now what?

You asked the question and we have the answer! The National Society of Collegiate Scholars is pleased to launch the NSCS Alumni Advisory Board. The NSCS Alumni Advisory Board is a special opportunity for a select number of NSCS members to serve in an advisory capacity to the NSCS national staff and Board of Directors. The Alumni Advisory Board consists of NSCS alumni, including former chapter officers, current and former NLC members, as well as active members.

The Pop Geek Playlist: Step OUT of the Club

As I begin to prepare for the remainder of the Spring semester, I’ve realized one week’s vacation to “get away from it all,” is definitely not enough. With Spring Break dates stretching across the month of March, and even April, some may still be tasting the sweet flavors of freedom. However, many students are already back to the daily grind and have begun the countdown to Summertime – where the livin’ is easy. This week, it’s time to step out of the nightclub and step away from MTV for a revisit to the Woodstock years, with a little bit of a British Ska invasion sprinkled on top.

How To Deal With Friends With Money

Dear Christine,

“My core group of friends from college make a lot more money then I do. They all dove right into their careers right after college whereas I have been more of a floater trying to figure out what I really love. They do a lot of things I cannot afford which is hard on my ego so I overspend just to keep up. How can I stop feeling so inferior and jealous?”

- Falling Behind Financially, 27, New Jersey

Dear Falling Behind Financially,

Adjusting to friends with money is a tough transition as most of us were financial equals in college who split tabs and cut coupons for pizza deliveries. Differing levels of income between friends can create differences that weren’t there before. I understand that it’s discouraging to feel like you are the one at the table who reads the menu from right to left while your friends enjoy reading it from left to right; ordering what is appealing as opposed to what is the least expensive.
