Northeast Texas Community College to celebrate GenTx day

Northeast Texas Community College is asking area residents and businesses to join them in celebration of GenTX Day on Friday, May 2. To participate, all Texans are encouraged to wear their favorite college T-shirt on May 2. The goal is let the new generation and others know they are supported as they make college decisions and become career ready. GenTX is a state-wide initiative to raise awareness about college and to encourage people to apply for college.
The event is designed to encourage students, particularly the graduating class of 2014 and adults considering returning to school, to think about and/or get ready to attend college. A traditional college degree or a technical vocational path awaits those who want to pursue an education and or training before hitting the job market.
“Wearing a college T-shirt is fun and easy to do, and when we all do it together we send a powerful message. Imagine if every person across Texas wears a college T-shirt on GenTX Day,” Judy Jackson, Director of the NTCC Hanson-Sewell Center in Pittsburg, said. “Wearing a college t-shirt invites conversations for people to share their own personal stories, choices, and careers – conversations that could inspire and change a student’s life.”
