We're proud to be an institution that helps strengthen our communities, support our workforce, and create opportunities for the people we serve.

Happy National Higher Education Day! 🎓

For Kim Rudness, her nursing pin represents more than an achievement — it’s a tribute to her son, Greyson, and what brought her to NWTC.

Kim and her husband, Adam, lost Greyson to Tay-Sachs, an ultra-rare neurological disease, just before his third birthday.

Shortly after, Kim felt a pull toward the field that had been such a significant part of their lives. She enrolled at NWTC to pursue a nursing degree, determined to turn her experience into a way that supports others navigating complex care and difficult moments.

Now, as an NWTC nursing graduate, Kim is ready to step into the profession with both skill and purpose.

She is one of many NWTC students who bring purpose into the classroom and graduate ready to make a meaningful impact — turning life experiences into careers that serve others.

After 24 years at NWTC, instructor Jerry Lintz is retiring this month. 💙

Lintz has made a lasting impact at NWTC and in the community. He’s helped launch over 100 businesses and mentored hundreds of students pursuing careers in entrepreneurship and hospitality. Along the way, he’s shared stories, wisdom, and built friendships that reach far beyond the classroom.

Teaching at NWTC was what Lintz calls “an incredible second career,” following decades in the hotel industry that began when he was just 15 years old.

Before retiring, Lintz reflected on his 60-year career in our latest edition of The Eagle’s View: https://bit.ly/4uKcpKQ
