When you see Ebb searching out from the crow's nest atop the SS Goodwin, know that help is not far away. The Navigators Early Support Team (or NEST) is a group of Service Support professionals, whose mission is to help you successfully navigate your college experience. From grades to workshops, tutoring to financial aid, the NEST is here to serve you, and guide you through those troubled waters.

This is also a tool that your professors have access to, and will notify the NEST when they think you could use some help.

So remember - email us at NEST@goodwin.edu for that lifeline, and if you see a message in your inbox from a NEST staff member, it's there because somebody cared!

Red Cross Blood Drive

Support Red Cross Blood Drive on June 10

Goodwin will be hosting a blood drive for the American Red Cross on Tuesday, June 10, from 8:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Community Room. Each day the American Red Cross needs 650 blood donations to meet the needs of patients at Connecticut’s hospitals and transfusion centers. With schools out and families on vacation, it’s often difficult to collect enough blood to meet patient needs during the summer months. They depend on partners like Goodwin to ensure blood is available when needed. To make an appointment, contact Debra Rajaniemi at 860-778-4060 or drajaniemi@gmail.com or 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-4060).
