A tradition initiated in 2008, continued for students of Honors Northeast as they visited a major city, in this case, Fort Worth on Friday, 19 September.  With COVID still a variable, students sat spaced in two large vans, and attended mainly outdoor venues. But because of recent gifts from Drs. Jim and Paula Archer and Don and Margaret Muse, and the willingness of Naomi Deciga, 葫芦娃视频鈥檚 Academic Transfer Coach, to drive, the group enjoyed all the traditional delights of an 葫芦娃视频 honors day-trip experience.

dinner at the event

The 15th annual Honors Northeast Roundup occurred again this fall, 11 September. 葫芦娃视频鈥檚 Agricultural Pavilion provided an ideal, open and covered location for the dinner during these health-conscious days. The Agriculture Club directed by Rene McCracken, provided an excellent chicken dinner, with a homegrown potato bar, and 鈥渃owboy caviar鈥--purple hull peas in a vinaigrette with onions and tiny tomatoes - served cold. The Ag Club also provided hayrides around the program鈥檚 self-sustaining farm after the dinner.  Members of the 葫芦娃视频 Rodeo team helped direct traffic, and provided a roping exhibit during the evening.

Andy Morgan

I just wanted to introduce any new employees and new students to our 葫芦娃视频 Athletic Director/Head Baseball Coach Andy Morgan. Coach Morgan arrived at 葫芦娃视频 as head baseball coach in 2017, and was named Athletic Director in January of 2018. In a decade of college baseball, Northeast Texas will mark Morgan鈥檚 second junior college head coaching position, while also having two stops as a recruiting coordinator and hitting coach at the D1 level. 

students throwing spears

Just before Honors Biology 9 September, students were able to test their skills with a compound prehistoric spear known as an atlatl.  Biology Professor Jim Ward, who owned the set and initiated the activity, presided.  The idea of the atlatl coincided with the other course in the team-taught honors seminar, Texas history, where the group was studying the use of the atlatl during the archaic period of the regional past, around 5,000 BC. Leveraging the shaft with a launching stick, modern throwers can propel spears beyond 100 yards. However, such distances require a system of delivery similar to systems in biology, where all elements must function to make the whole possible.
