91¹û¶³´«Ã½

In early June, Honors Northeast students returned from a three-day trip to the special collections department of the University of Houston M.D. Anderson Library. Their goal was to learn as much as they could about the story of how women gained the right to vote in Texas, 1915-20. As with similar efforts

The Northeast Texas Community College Board of Trustees met for its regular June meeting on Tuesday, June 28. During the President’s report, Dr. Ron Clinton acknowledged that 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ was pleased to have two Jack Kent Cooke Foundation scholarship winners this year. In addition to Aaliyah Avellaneda winning the JKCF Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship, alumnus Brenda Godoy earned a second graduate school award.

The 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ CARE Center makes every effort to assist students in achieving their goals. Basic needs instability, or a lack of access to these basics, has a severe impact on students' health and capacity to continue and complete education. Supporting college students' basic needs can help alleviate these challenges. The last few months CARE Center staff has been working on creating an online up-to-date resource catalogue so that students can access the information to any local resources they may need, this includes financial assistance, counseling, food, and shelter from any location, at any needed time. The CARE Center is thrilled to be able to provide our campus community with an online up-to-date local tri-county resources catalogue. They will continue to add resources and make sure the guide stays up to date and current.
