Honors Northeast students and faculty†recently took their 14th†regional culture trip, a tradition that dates back to 2008. Students toured the Perot Museum, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Nieman Marcus Department store, stopping for snacks and meals at Starbucks, Jorge?s Tex Mex, and the Twisted Root Burger.† Some students saw the Dallas Mavericks play the Denver Nuggets, and others went to the North Park Mall.†The trip was free for all honors students. Professors Shirley Clay, Sarah Rainey, and Andrew Yox drove vans.
This tradition has been established and funded by Dr. Jim and Paula Archer, and the Friends of Honors Northeast.† Dr. Archer, who was a Chemistry Professor at NTCC, initiated similar cultural trips taken by members of the Chemistry Club before 2008.† Any student interested in joining the Honors Program at NTCC for the fall of 2015 is welcome to contact Honors Director, Dr. Andrew Yox at†ayox@ntcc.edu, or 903-434-8229.
