My name is Laurencio Velazquez Jr. from Mount Vernon, TX, but you may call me Junior. While attending MVHS, I was honored to be chosen as a recipient of the Mount Vernon Rotary Club Motivational Scholarship to NTCC. At the time, I had no clear idea of what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to graduate from college — so much so that I chose not to purchase a high school ring, saving that milestone for college...

I started here as a dual-credit and then full-time teaching student. I completed my AAT and transferred to TAMUT. After I completed my undergraduate degree and taught grade school for a little while, I found that my family needed better benefits than the public school system could offer. Enter NTCC (again :)...

My journey with NTCC began as a dual credit student at Chapel Hill. After graduation, I took a few general education classes before stepping away for a short time. In 2011, I returned with a clear goal in mind—pursuing my AAS in Medical Assisting. From the moment I started the program, I knew I had found the right path. The instructors were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely supportive, always invested in our success as students...

My name is Jason Moss I graduated from MPISD in 1998. At the time, I didn’t know where I wanted to go or what fields I might be interested in studying. My counselor told me I could apply for the MPISD scholarship at NTCC and suggested I write a one-page essay and submit it. I had never really been to a college campus before, and that opportunity led me to choose NTCC to begin my journey...

In approximately January of 2002, I came out here to sign up for classes. I had moved back into this area with my children from West Texas. In West Texas, I had a good job that I fell into in West, TX, and I thought that for me to get another job like that, I would need a degree—so I came out here. While I was in Student Services applying for classes, someone who knew me (and for whom I had done some work) told me of a maintenance position available. So I asked for an employment application as well...

Growing up as the youngest of four girls in a family where higher education wasn’t the norm, I never imagined I’d one day hold a doctorate and teach college-level mathematics. My father had a sixth-grade education, and my mother a high school diploma. We didn’t have the financial means or the knowledge of how to navigate college. But I knew I wanted more...

In the fall of 1984, I became aware of the soon to open Northeast Texas Community College in the rural area between Mt. Pleasant, Pittsburg and Daingerfield.  At the time I was a full time mathematics professor and division chair at Henderson County Junior College in Athens, Texas. The thought of being an original faculty and leading in the success of this new college intrigued me powerfully...
