By: Dr. Andrew Yox, Honors Director
Since 2008, the honors program of NTCC has published a biannual newsletter. The recently released 2025 spring edition can be accessed by clicking here.
One can also write Honors Director, Dr. Andrew P. Yox, for a real copy at ayox@ntcc.edu.
The current issue provides a summary of student success stories at NTCC in honors last fall: the attainment of NTCC’s second string of Portia Gordon awards, Vanessajane Bayna’s election as student leader of the Great Plains Honors Council, the winners of generous donor-scholarships in honors, the Eckman prize winners, and the student presentations at the meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council, and the Webb Meeting in San Antonio. The newsletter also contains tributes to recent honors donors, who have enabled a special group dynamic, discussed here as the “incentivization corridor of Honors Northeast.” There is also a section on the completion of the 2024 Honors film on Big Oil and Texas politics, the outcome of the 2024 Northeast Texas Poetry Contest, and a section on “alacritous alumni,” an update on six former members of Honors Northeast.
