Thirty-third semester trip for Honors students
For the 33nd time, thanks to honors donors such as Drs. Jim and Paula Archer, NTCC honors students were able to take a free, day-trip to a big city. Seventeen students and four faculty drivers left campus at 7:45 a.m., 26 January for a whirlwind experience that began with free breakfasts at Starbucks in Greenville, and ended with the musical, I love you, You’re Perfect, Now Change, in Garland. The itinerary also included an encounter with the Southern Methodist University organist, Benjamin Kolodziej, shopping and skating at the Galleria, a visit to the Dallas cultural district, a special scavenger hunt designed by Christine Yox of Mount Pleasant, and a late-night stop at Buc-ees.
