The CARE Center and Student Success will host a week-long national celebration for First Generation Students November 7th-10th. A First-Generation student is an individual whose parents did not complete a 4-year college degree. Many NTCC students are the first in their family to attend college and this is a special week to support and celebrate them!
On Thursday, October 20, 2022, 11 NTCC students were inducted into Psi Beta, the national honor society in psychology for community colleges. The candlelight Induction was presided over by chapter officers Jian Torres, Didier Serrano, and Nataly Morales. The speaker for the evening, Amanda Stevens, a doctoral candidate in the Educational Psychology program at Texas A&M University-Commerce, presented her original research on metacognition.
Inductees are pictured as follows:
