Since 2008, the honors program of NTCC has published a biannual newsletter.  The recently released 2023 July edition can be accessed here on the college website. One can also write Honors Director, Dr. Andrew P. Yox, for a real copy at ayox@ntcc.edu.

The current issue provides the newsletter’s traditional update on current scholars, patrons, and honors alumni.  It includes a summary of student success stories in honors during the spring semester: the national awards attained by sophomores, Jordan Chapin, and Skylar Fondren, the state awards attained by first-year scholars, Neida Perez, and Aubrey Watkins, and the intervarsity, state chapter award attained for the program’s film series in Texas history.  The newsletter also contains tributes to recent honors donors, which include for the first time, significant gifts from NTCC honors alumni.  There is also a section on the unprecedented attainments of the program’s graduating sophomores, and a story about NTCC’s first Jack Kent Cooke reunion in Mount Pleasant.
