Longtime Northeast Texas Community College professor, Dr. Winston McCowan, Sr., passed away on May 30, 2021. Dr. McCowan retired from NTCC in 2018 from his position as a Professor of Biology. Dr. McCowan had a passion for helping students and he made a great impact on so many during his 33 years of dedicated service to the college. He is missed greatly by his friends and colleagues.

After one hour and twenty minutes, the recent meeting of the State of Texas Touchstone Editorial Board appeared to reach a critical phase. Dr. Mari Nicholson-Preuss, a University of Houston Honors Director, and expert in medical history, began to list some problems she encountered in reading two recent student submissions from Northeast Texas Community College. She concluded her remarks, however, saying, her expertise in this area probably made her too critical, and that Dorali Hernandez’s “Progression of Medical Maintenance” still merited inclusion in the 2022 journal.

The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently received a $15,000 gift from Brantley and Suzanne Foster of Mount Pleasant. Additionally, NTCC received a $10,000 gift from Kappa Pi. Combined, the funds will create the Brandon Foster Memorial Endowed Scholarship at NTCC.
