Thank you for Striving for Excellence

By Dr. Ric Baser
President, Northwest Vista College

NVC has learned that we are the only community college in San Antonio and one of eight in Texas that is eligible for the 2023 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.

This is a significant achievement because colleges have to be invited to participate in the process, based on student success data in five critical areas: teaching and learning, certificate and degree completion, transfer and bachelor’s attainment, workforce success as well as equity for students of color and students from low-income backgrounds. San Antonio College received the Aspen Prize this year and can apply again after 2023.

NVC is among 150 eligible institutions invited to apply for the Aspen Prize out of a pool of more than 1,000 community colleges in the nation. Institutions chosen have a chance to compete for a $1 million Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, which is awarded every two years.

Thank you to all faculty and staff for the passion you bring with you to the workplace, and for helping our students achieve their academic goals.
