Don’t Miss Out on Upcoming Student Lunch & Learn

Readers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to attend an upcoming student presentation event on February 22 sponsored by NTCC and taking place in the library.

Student scholars will showcase regional-themed essays that promise delight and impart new knowledge. Having attended previous years, I can attest that these midday events are true gems. The student presentations demonstrate deep research and investment into unique topics.

If you are interested in attending, you may RSVP with Dr. Yox (ayox@ntcc.edu) to secure a spot and lunch at this enriching event. Lunch and Learn will take place from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. in the library.
