According to Tardigrade specialist, Baker University Biologist, Dr. William Miller, it is official.  Students of NTCC’s Dr. Chris McAllister have found the first samples of a microscopic animal, the Tardigrade, in this area of Northeast Texas.

It craves environments of moss and lichen.

NTCC opened its doors in 1985 with higher-than-expected enrollments, and by 1987 had gained an earlier-than-expected accreditation.  With new programs, buildings, and a relatively young, highly qualified faculty NTCC, enjoyed a halcyon period of growth. That was, until the years 1994-1995, when some administrative turmoil left the young college in search of new leadership.
