What a GREAT time to be a NIGHTHAWK!

08/25/2026

Now, THIS is NPC! We are proud of you, Nighthawks!

We ❤️ the National Park College students athletes! These student athletes traded in their jerseys for work gloves and spend the morning volunteering on our construction site!

Thank you for showing up, working hard and helping make our community a better place. We’re cheering you on! 📣

NPC Alumni & Friends members, remember that early August email inviting you to a FREE family night at the Arkansas Travelers game? ⚾️

Here’s who made it possible: Pafford Medical Services.

Thanks to their generosity, our alumni and friends will enjoy a night of baseball, food, family and Nighthawk connection - completely free.

And apparently, you all were ready for some baseball. The event SOLD OUT in ONE DAY!

For Pafford Medical Services, supporting education is about more than scholarships or classrooms. It’s about people. As an EMS organization, they’ve seen firsthand how education can change lives, strengthen families and create healthier communities.

We’re incredibly grateful to Pafford Medical Services for investing in our students, our alumni, and the Nighthawk community.

There’s nothing quite like Nighthawk soccer… especially with Mark Oliver behind the mic! He brings the perfect mix of humor and excitement to every call, making our Nighthawks just as fun to listen to as they are to watch.

This season is already giving us plenty to cheer about. Let’s go, Nighthawk Nation!

Our newest Nighthawks are settling in and having a great first week at NPC!

Before parents headed home on Move-In Day, we gave them one last assignment: leave a note for their Nighthawk.

Something tells us those little messages from home are bringing a few warm fuzzies this week.

Here’s to a great start, Nighthawks!

Team Foundation spent a (very) warm morning welcoming students with grab-and-go breakfast treats, snapping a few “My First Day” photos, and watching our creative Marketing team conduct some super fun interviews that we can’t wait to see!

The Quad was buzzing, campus was full of life, and our Nighthawks are officially BACK.

Here’s to a great year, Nighthawks. We’re so glad you’re here!

A little Foundation business, a little behind-the-scenes tour, and a pretty great Friday morning!

Our NPC Foundation Board wrapped up a successful quarterly meeting last week, then headed over for a tour of the new NPC Metalworks facility. It was exciting to see this incredible space up close and get a firsthand look at what it will mean for our students, workforce, and community.

And a special shoutout to our tour transportation extraordinaire, Vice President for Workforce Bill Ritter, who also served as our very capable bus driver for the morning.

Want to see NPC Metalworks for yourself? Come celebrate with us!

- NPC Metalworks Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting
- Wednesday, September 23
- 2 p.m.

We’d love to see you there!

Through the Arkansas Hunger Alliance's Serving Up Solutions grant program, we were able to purchase food that will directly benefit the people we serve. Thank you to NPC Foundation Board Secretary, Representative Les Warren, for nominating NPC and helping us continue our mission to fight hunger on campus.
