NCTC-Bowie celebrates 15 years of strong partnerships
By BARBARA GREEN
North Central Texas College-Bowie Monday night was filled with old friends sharing memories and those new to the campus excited about continuing the strong legacy that has seen the campus thrive and grow.
Emily Klement, Maurice Robeson Irish and Debbie Sharp giggled as they stood together in front of the NCTC-Bowie library.
Irish, the first dean of the Bowie campus laughed, “back when we started we would have been standing outside here,” as she referred to the expansion.
These NCTC educators and administrators have been with the campus since its earliest beginning to see how far their campus has come was a special moment. Read the full story on this celebration with lots of photos in your mid-week News.
