Kudos to NVC Grant Writer Javier Morales, who was recently invited to be a keynote speaker at Wallace State Community College and to speak at Athens State University for Hispanic Heritage Month, both institutions are in Alabama.
The Information and Communication Technology team at Northwest Vista College has completed the implementation of wireless access throughout all campus buildings as well as “green spaces,” between and around buildings. This means that students, employees and visitors can access the Internet in those areas on their laptops, tablets and mobile phones without using their personal data plans.
Northwest Vista College has a new weather station thanks to Facilities' Bernie Zertuche and his team!
As everyone is probably aware a key priority for Northwest Vista and the Alamo Colleges is student degree completion. Each year since 2010 we have established targets for increased graduation numbers. Since 2008, we have increased from approximately 600 graduates for the 2007-08 academic year to over 1,400 for 2012-13.
