Welcome to the Happy Valley Goose Bay Campus of College of the North Atlantic! My name is Sharon Lucci and I am the Student Development Officer at our Campus. I am part of a student services team which includes an Indigenous Support Coordinator, Counsellor, Residence Coordinator, Accessibility Services Coordinator, Resource Facilitator, Librarian, Admissions staff and more. Together we provide information and support to students to help them become successful within their program. Some examples of support include; personal and group counselling, funding support, student aid assistance, scholarships and awards, career planning, and more.

Starting post secondary can be intimidating and confusing but also rewarding and fun. You will most likely have many questions and whether you are starting College for the first time or are a returning student, our staff and faculty are here to offer you support and encouragement along the way.
