More than 70 students from the NTCC Work4College Program participated in Mad City reality simulation fair this Wednesday. The event, hosted by NET Credit Union, is an exciting, interactive exercise to help students learn more about managing their personal finances. 

The “charm of fame is so great” noted Blaise Pascal, “that we like every article to which it is attached.” Former President George W. Bush (2001-2008) recently published an artistic and biographical compendium that the friends of Carlos Mendez will no doubt treasure. The former Texas Governor and 43rd President painted portraits of forty-three living immigrant contributors to American life.  The group includes Henry Kissinger, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dirk Nowitski, and the former alumnus of Honors Northeast, Carlos Mendez. 

NTCC is pleased to announce that Dr. Jonathan McCullough (Executive Vice President For Advancement), and his development team, has been nominated for this week’s Summer Shout Out. Dr. McCullough and his staff raise funds for the NTCC Foundation and award scholarships and other assistance to students in need (along with many other duties).
