Dr. Gina Sipley
Dr. Gina Sipley is a Professor in NCC's English Department.
"I taught my first adjunct class at NCC in 2012 and have been a full-time professor for the past 11 years. I teach courses in Journalism, Creative Writing, Children's Literature, Composition, Reading, and Women and Gender Studies. I'm also the Chair of the English AA degree and Vice Chair of the Creative Writing AA degree committees. I am continually impressed by my students' determination, drive, and enthusiasm. Like many of my students, I was a first-generation college student, and I understand the challenges of pursuing higher education alongside the opportunities it presents.
In addition to teaching, one of my fondest memories of my time at the college was serving on the board of The Children's Greenhouse and witnessing the transformational power of high quality, low cost, onsite, childcare for student parents.
Most recently, I am the author of the book Just Here For the Comments: Lurking as Digital Literacy Practice (Bristol University Press, 2024) and am at work on my next book. I once had a high school teacher who told me the best I could ever aspire to was to write greeting cards. One of the greatest joys in life is proving people wrong. Pursue your dreams with vigor."

I served in the United States Navy in Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, II and at Camp Pendleton with the 5th Marines. I was also deployed to Okinawa, Japan twice. Stateside, I knew that Nassau Community College has a reputation for being very military friendly, and when I got here, it was true.

"I served in the United States Navy in San Diego from 2014 to 2021, first on the USS Harpers Ferry and then on the USS Rushmore. When it was time for me to attend college, I chose NCC because it's veteran friendly and offers many different programs.
