For their performance in challenging honors courses at NTCC in relation to their peers, two Presidential Scholars will win $100 checks. Neida Perez, a biomed major, won her award as an honors freshman, ranking number one in the Stat-Psych Honors Seminar taught this past spring by Dr. Karyn Skaar and Dr. Paula Wilhite. NTCC’s 2022-2023 James and Elizabeth Whatley Scholar, Victor Diaz, who graduated this past May with his associate degree, was the sophomore who took all six honors seminar courses—not to mention honors calculus, and ended with the highest GPA.
