For the 38th time, thanks to honors donors, NTCC honors students were able to take a free, day-trip to a big city—in this case, Fort Worth. Eleven honors students, honors director, Dr. Andrew Yox, and Cade Bennett, NTCC Honors Coordinator, left campus at 7:15 a.m., 25 September in two vans. They enjoyed a whirlwind experience that began with free breakfasts at Starbucks in Greenville, and ended with the Fort Worth Symphony playing a rousing concert of Brahms and Hayden. The itinerary also included a maze competition in the stockyards district, the Kimbel and Amon Carter art galleries, and a visit to the Sundance Square area. Each student received a generous per diem as well as a cultural experience stipend to spend on meals or experiences as they saw fit for the trip.
