Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) is now accepting applications for its nursing programs. Prospective students can apply for both the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) and Licensed Vocational Nursing (LVN) programs. Applications will be accepted through February 1.

Chef Brandon Rodriguez, a 2011 graduate of NTCC with an Associate’s degree in Culinary Arts, later earned his B.S. in Hospitality & Culinary Management from The Art Institute of Dallas. His culinary journey began at just 14, when he started as a dishwasher under his father, who has more than 40 years of experience in the kitchen. Inspired by those early moments in the restaurant, Brandon knew he was destined to become a chef.
