As a member of NTCC’s first Presidential-Scholar cohort in 2007, Ann Finch persevered with a topic on the Paleolithic Indians of Texas.

Northeast Texas Community College will be closed Wednesday, Nov. 23rd through Friday, Nov. 25th for Thanksgiving. We hope everyone has a wonderful break spending time with friends and family.
