The Northeast Texas Community College Department of Continuing Education and Corporate Training recently hosted the fifth annual Northeast Texas Childcare Conference.  Due to COVID-19 concerns, the conference was held virtually through Zoom.  There were 75 attendees for the October 24 event and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The keynote speaker for the day was Rachel Giannini from Chicago. The conference also included a variety of breakout sessions on different topics and a closing session.

For the seventh time, Honors Northeast scholars have presented a panel on the use of film at the yearly meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC).  The NCHC, established in 1966, comprises 65 percent of the honors programs and colleges in higher education in the United States, about 900 entities.

Northeast Texas Community College hosted the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) Southern region Rodeo October 16 and 17 at the Mount Pleasant Rodeo Association Priefert Arena  in Mount Pleasant.
