On Tuesday, June 6th, Sherri Holliday-Sklar from Rogers Rotary, along with Michael Dewberry from NWTI, and graduating Marshallese electronics student, Janton Kamram, were on hand for a check presentation of $10,000 from Rotary to Northwest Technical Institute, to provide scholarships for Marshallese students. Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in their communities, and in themselves. Two years ago, the Rogers Rotary Club set out to help the Marshallese Community by assisting in their continuing education efforts. The Rogers Rotary organized a bicycle ride in April 2023 to raise funds for this purpose. 27 Rotarians volunteered to provide a good experience for 53 registered bicyclists. The participation and assistance of the Consulate General of the Marshall Islands was greatly appreciated. Dedicated NWTI instructors and staff provide training for jobs that are in high demand. The Rogers Rotary Club believes that this scholarship funding will make it easier for Marshallese students to graduate and succeed as they work to improve the lives of their families and community! #marshallese #community #springdale #nwti #nwarkansas #scholarships #education #thankyou

ICE CREAM SOCIAL THURSDAY! In our continuing effort to honor our #teachers, this afternoon there's a big #NWTI Ice Cream Social! As you can plainly see - - we have #fun. And because they really deserve it, the table spread included some of everything! Scoopmaster Ashley Simpson - Secondary Education Director, wasn't a ton of help - - look at that tiny ice cream "scoop!" It got a little contentious as you can see Automotive Technology Instructor - John Lindsay, threatening one of his peers with a plastic spoon. John there's plenty for everyone! #thankyou #thankateacher #nationalteachersweek #icecream #nwarkansas #party

ARE CRUNK CUPS STILL A THING? LOL...As another token of our #appreciation during Teacher's Week, Surgical Technology Director/Instructor Kendra Thompson shows off today's tribute: a high quality, extra-large Thermos! Remember taking those to school? Actually it's a double- insulated (hot or cold) drink tumbler! Proudly emblazoned with our NWTI logo and given out to all of our #instructors. Tuesday we celebrated from 1pm - 4pm with a Faculty Snack Bar. Apparently some enjoyed it more than others! Pictured in this post is our Information Systems Director/Instructor Molly Colorado, "enjoying a snack." In all seriousness we continue to salute our teachers this week. Thank you for all that you do! #faculty #teachers #teachersweek #education #thankateacher #nwarkansas

#NWTI Eclipse Mania! Here at Northwest Technical Institute in Springdale, we got almost 95% eclipse totality. The light got eerie, but our celebration with #staff, #faculty and #students did not!

THIS IS MAYRA GARCIA. At our most recent Board of Directors' Meeting, she led us all in the Pledge of Allegiance. Here's just a little bit about Mayra and why we're so proud to have here at #NWTI. Mayra is a very #dedicated #student. She started attending our family literacy classes at Tyson Elementary in September 2022. Since then, she has been taking ESL #classes at our Adult Education Center as well as a #citizenship class in preparation for the #naturalization process. Mayra is also a part of the PTLA (Parents Taking Leadership & Action) program at Westwood Elementary, where she has been participating for years. While being a #Mom to three children, along with all of these and other obligations, she continues to have a #positive #attitude, and her English is improving greatly. We're all so proud of her hard work! #education #esl #adulteducation #leadership #support
