Alpha Mu Chi, NTCC's chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, recently received its fifth grant from the Mellon Foundation. The chapter will use the $1,000 to explore northeast Texas Folklore. The month of October is being nicknamed "Folk-tober," and each Monday in the month the chapter is showcasing a different aspect of the unique folklore and culture of the region. October 7 is the Choctaw Cultural Center Presentation, October 14 is M.J. Hayes local author and storyteller, October 21 is Bigfoot Booth, and October 28 is tales from the Northeast Texas Ezekiel Airship and Rural Heritage Museum.

We are proud to announce that Northeast Texas Community College has partnered with The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute to be part of the Minding College Minds Learning Community. This important initiative is designed to help better understand and address the unique mental health needs of community college students.

Emily Mikel, the program's instructor, guided the students through rigorous training, ensuring they are well-prepared for the workforce.
