ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ celebrated Spring 2021 commencement on Saturday, May 15. Two ceremonies were held at the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts honoring a total of 291 students who earned a combined 345 degrees/certificates.
As most of you are probably aware, earlier this week Governor Abbott issued his Executive Order GA-36, which prohibits government entities from requiring or mandating individuals to wear face coverings. In compliance with that order, effective immediately, ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ will no longer require the wearing of face coverings on its main campus or any of its outreach centers.
After a year of virtual presentations facilitated by iPhones and YouTube, Northeast community poster judges, and ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅ students came back together in real time at the Whatley Foyer, Friday, 7 May, for the Thirteenth Annual McGraw-Hill Poster Contest. This scholarly contest, sponsored this year by Santaβs Sweeties, a high-end sewing circle in Mount Vernon, McGraw-Hill Education Corporation, and Jerald and Mary Lou Mowery of Mount Vernon featured what many believed was the best visualization of scholarly work in the history of the conference.
Every semester full-time and associate faculty in ΊωΒ«ΝήΚΣΖ΅βs Division of Humanities and Social Sciences can select an outstanding student, who is exceptional in some way. This semester, Psychology Professor Nicole Sutton nominated Crystal Warren.
