Northeast Alabama Community College Entrepreneurial Center

NACC E-Center will be closed Friday, June 19th in observance of Juneteenth.

As we honor Juneteenth—a day that reminds us of both how far we’ve come and the work that still lies ahead.

We celebrate freedom, resilience, and the strength of communities who continue to move forward together.

At NACC E‑Center, we are proud to support a community where opportunity, education, and entrepreneurship are within reach for all.

No coffee and co-create this Friday, but take a moment to learn, reflect, and celebrate with a nice cup of coffee with a friend.

Chances are, when you visit the NACC E-Center, one of the first things you’ll notice is the beautiful wall colors, furniture, and décor. The space is welcoming, inviting, and thoughtfully designed—and we have one person to thank for bringing it all together.

A huge shoutout to Brenda Stringer, our talented interior decorator and Executive Assistant to President Campbell! Give Brenda a vision, and she has an incredible gift for turning it into reality.

This week, Brenda added even more creativity and color to our workshop room by displaying some of her own artwork. She is truly a gifted artist, and her work helps make our space feel even more inspiring.

Thank you, Brenda, for sharing your talent, creativity, and vision with us. We appreciate all you do! Brenda Stringer

📣📣If your organization would like to tour the E-Center or make use of our meeting space, we’d love to host you. Reach out to [email protected] to get started.

🚲 In honor of World Bicycle Day…

The bicycle didn’t start out like it looks today.

It began as something simple—and people kept improving it, step by step.

That’s how great ideas work. They evolve.

💡 What’s something you see that could be better?

We’d love to hear your idea—and help you take it further.

Through Builders Studio, made possible by Innovate Alabama and in partnership with Builders + Backers, you can start turning that idea into something real.
