This week Northeast Texas Community College presented its annual Employee Service Awards and honored three retirees at a special holiday luncheon. Pictured/listed below are those who were honored:
The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation is pleased to announce that nine NTCC employees have been awarded funds through the 2021 Whatley Employee Enhancement Grant. The Foundation received 13 outstanding applications. Five were funded by the grant and four were funded by private donations. The total for all funded projects totaled $12,600.
The Whatley Employee Enhancement Grant was established by James & Elizabeth Whatley specifically to fund special projects and enhance educational opportunities that fall outside the institution’s regular budget. Each year, NTCC full-time employees may apply for the approximately $8,500 available. Projects are reviewed and selected by the volunteer members of the Whatley Employee Enhancement Committee.
The application for the 2022 Northeast Texas Community College Work4College Program is officially open! Those wishing to participate should visit www.work4college.com to apply.
Moving into its ninth year of operation at NTCC, Work4College is a scholarship program designed to give students the opportunity to work during the summer to earn money for college. While doing meaningful work on campus and learning important life skills, students are able to earn a paycheck and save for future classes at NTCC. More than 80 students participated in 2021 and the college hopes to have close to 100 spots available in 2022.

For ten years in the “BioTex” seminar at NTCC, honors students have experienced a November “email shootout.” This is something like a cross between an ongoing basketball game with scores changing in real time, and a fast-paced, scholarly-poetic thinkathon. The course challenges students to conceptualize the elements of their Texas history research essays, to utilize crossover “analogs, (terms)” particularly from biology, and to provide terse definitions of their newly minted concepts.
