Elizabeth Patterson, NTCC Class of 1993, earned an Associate degree in Accounting and a Computer Specialist Certificate. Her college journey began by chance in 1990, when she was a stay-at-home mom in Avinger with her husband and two kids. A neighbor invited her to NTCC to drop off paperwork, and while waiting on campus, a staff member asked if she needed help. When she said she wasn’t a student, they asked, “Would you like to be?” Minutes later, she filled out an application. That fall, at age 32, Elizabeth started college.
Northeast Texas Community College has been a busy place this week as the summer session officially kicked off on Monday, June 9th. In addition to regular classes, there are several special programs taking place that are bringing even more students to campus than usual! The following programs are currently active – with many of these students living on campus:
