Board members were sworn in for another term at Northeast Texas Community College at its May 27 meeting. Camp County Judge Thomas Cravy administered the oath of office to Northeast Texas Community College board members Robin Sharp, John Bryan, Jerry Webster and Chuck Johns. The board also reorganized keeping Dan McCauley as chairman, Chuck Johns as vice chairman and Sid Greer as secretary.
Jon McCullough, vice president for advancement, reported there were 15 work scholarships awarded out of a pool of 20.
“We were shooting for 12 so our demand exceeded the initial supply,” Dr. Mc-Cullough said.
These students are part of a select group that is interested in working to pay for their education while earning some spending money along the way. They will be part of NTCC’s pilot Work Scholarship Program, will work on the NTCC Eagle Ranch and receive college credit this summer.
