By Dr. Jennifer McConville, Associate Dean
I had the privilege of helping with a fundraiser for one of our own this past week. Mo Khamouna, NCTA’s Library Specialist, has been with NCTA since 1996. Mo’s family experienced a house fire last December. As a member of our community, both Curtis and NCTA, we want to do all we can to help his family.

End of Semester Wrap-up Wednesday, January 4, 2023
Dr. Larry Gossen
We started out this semester in August in the middle of a major heat wave and drought. While we are still in the middle of the drought, I’d take just a few degrees of that heat this week! Single-digit highs and negative lows in the forecast don’t bode well for a comfortable new year.

Holiday Greetings – Dr. Larry Gossen
I’m not sure about you, but I sit in my office and wonder where these last 4 months have gone! Friday was the last day of the fall semester for NCTA students and Faculty. The mass exodus has begun. It’s going to be very quiet on campus for a few weeks.
I hope you aren’t like me and have been able to really cherish every day leading up to this season. As I mentioned in an earlier column, this year has been a little different since we have added two cats to our household.
