With shorter days and final exams approaching, this can be a stressful and depressing time of year for college students. If you find yourself overwhelmed, remember that all NTCC students have access to FREE mental health services. 

The Baptist Student Ministry (BSM) is a resource provided by the community to benefit NTCC students. Below is a message from Tim Williams, BSM Director:

Who is the BSM? We are here to encourage, engage, and equip students at NTCC in their Christian walk.

This semester there are multiple ways to be involved at the BSM:

Do you know a practicing phlebotomist that is interested in continuing their education? The NTCC Medical Lab Technology program is now offering a $250 scholarship to any practicing phlebotomist admitted into the MLT program. The faculty met with many of the area Lab Directors of hospital labs to offer an incentive for their phlebotomy staff to go back to college. The need for Lab Techs is still high in the East Texas area and NTCC is glad to support our labs. For information, please call 903-434-8250 or e-mail gbarrett@ntcc.edu.
