Northeast Texas Community College was well represented at the 63rd Annual Council for the Study of Community Colleges (CSCC) Conference in Tempe, Arizona. Faculty members Jim Ward and Carmen Shurtleff both presented at the conference on different topics. 

Medical Assistants are a vital part of healthcare as they work alongside physicians, mainly in outpatient or ambulatory care facilities, such as medical offices and clinics. Medical assistants are​ cross-trained to perform administrative and clinical duties making them the heart of healthcare. 

NTCC's innovative Work4College program is currently accepting applications for summer 2022. Anyone who will have completed at least their sophomore year of high school this May who plans to attend NTCC is eligible. Current students who plan to continue their studies at NTCC are encouraged to apply.

In this the tenth cinematic premiere of a story from the Texas past in as many years, Honors Northeast, and the NTCC Webb Society will present a film that deals with an intriguing symbol of late-twentieth-century American culture. The feature-length film will begin at 7PM on Friday, 25 March at the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts. The production is free, and the public is invited.  Free coffee, homemade cookies, and drinks will be provided afterward, in the Whatley Foyer.

The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a donation from the Jr. Delphian Club to support the Work4College Program. Jeanne Blevins (right) is pictured presenting the gift to Dr. Jonathan McCullough, NTCC Executive Vice President for Advancement. The Jr. Delphian Club gift, along with any others made to the Work4College program, will be matched dollar-for-dollar by two outside foundations. This means double the impact for gifts of all sizes. Please consider supporting the NTCC Foundation on East Texas Giving Day, which will be held on April 26. Gifts will be accepted starting April 4 at www.easttexasgivingday.org/ntccfoundation.

The NTCC Foundation has more than 300 scholarships available for the 2022-2023 academic year. The scholarships are not directly tied to FAFSA eligibility, so you may receive a scholarship even if you don’t qualify for PELL grants. What’s the catch? You have to apply!

Just fill out this one online scholarship application and we’ll automatically match you to scholarships for which you qualify.

The NTCC Career and Transfer Center will host admissions representatives from both Texas A&M University - Texarkana and Texas A&M university - Commerce next week. 

Since 2008, the honors program of NTCC has published a biannual newsletter. The recently released 2022 February edition can be accessed at this link on the Honors website. One can also write Honors Director, Dr. Andrew P. Yox, for a real copy at ayox@ntcc.edu.

Dear College Family,

I hope everyone has had a refreshing holiday break and is ready to embark on another impactful year at NTCC.

I know we all hoped that this pandemic would be completely in our rear view mirror by now. As we begin this new semester, however, while experiencing another aggressive spike in COVID infections with the Omicron variant, we will need to continue implementing heightened  safety measures on campus to help reduce the risk of Covid spread until this current aggressive wave subsides. I hope that will be soon.
