In the spring of 2025, NTCC’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa decided to embark on a project to collect and preserve 40 stories. “Stories help us connect with others, they unite, divide, and shape us. They inspire us, make us laugh, remember, and cry. Preserving stories is saving the past; who we were, what we did, and how we did it.”
