Two former NTCC Presidential Scholars recently published award-winning scholarship that was developed and accepted for publication while at NTCC. Neida Perez, now at UT Tyler, published her Caldwell-Award winning study on the Texas war against pathogens, and Aubrey Watkins, now at East Texas A&M, published her Caldwell-Award winning work on the rise of the Cowboy Church. Both found acceptance as state-wide standouts in Touchstone, a collegiate journal published by the Texas State Historical Association since 1982. Though in recent years the journal has gone online, Touchstone is an anomalous, “for-undergraduates” collegiate journal, as it has been published in cloth since 1982.
Most of us don’t give our feet much thought until they hurt. But your feet are more than just a way to get from place to place—they’re also windows into your overall health.

Paying attention to your feet isn’t just about comfort—it can be lifesaving.
