The NTCC Nursing Program sent two faculty members (Amanda Shaw and Chrystal Brown) and 33 nursing students from the LVN and RN programs volunteer at the Heart Health Fair at Titus Regional Medical Center on Saturday, March 5th. NTCC students had the opportunity to help the staff draw blood, take blood pressures, check glucose levels, and make the community feel welcome at the event.  The nursing program was fortunate to be invited and get to participate in this wonderful occasion and we look forward to participating again next year. 

The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received $2,500 from the Frank Sexton Lodge #206. Dr. Jonathan McCullough (right), NTCC Executive Vice President for Advancement, is pictured receiving the check from Brother Tim Hall, Worshipful Master of Frank Sexton Lodge #206. The money will be added the Frank Sexton Masonic Lodge #60 Endowed Scholarship fund at NTCC.  In addition, the donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a grant program that is designated for at-risk students, which doubles the impact of the gift from the Lodge!
