Students of Honors Northeast took their 27th biannual trip to Dallas last Friday, 29 February.  Because of restrictions relating to COVID, it was the first semester-day trip where students had to drive themselves. Though this may have hampered attendance, the group enjoyed many special amenities.  Because of recent gifts from John and Jan Bryan of Naples, and Don and Margaret Muse of Pittsburg, in addition to long-range funding and encouragement from Drs. Jim and Paula Archer, the group enjoyed a traditional, NTCC honors day-trip experience.

As we adjust to the pandemic becoming part of our daily lives, it is very important that everyone on campus continues reporting direct COVID-19 exposure and/or positive test results. Letting us know if you are sick or have been exposed is the fastest and most effective way to alert our administrators and faculty of your situation. They can then provide you with guidance on how to proceed and take measures to keep everyone on campus safe.
