Welcome from the President
As you begin to fill the halls, interact with faculty in the
classroom, and meet with staff to assist you on your
educational journey, we celebrate that each member of our
College community has value – Everyone Has Worth. Here
at NWTC, we are committed to embracing every individual,
providing an inviting community, and creating a respectful
and stimulating student experience that is necessary for
intellectual and personal growth.
In the spirit of this belief, we invite you to become engaged
in your educational experience. Participate in clubs and
programming, take part in service learning opportunities,
and get to know fellow classmates and learn about their
backgrounds – your fellow students come from different
places, Tribal Nations, and countries. Seize the opportunity to
learn from and with each other because each member of the
NWTC community is here for a reason …. You are encouraged
to discover what that is.
From the time you step foot on this campus, you are valued, and we sincerely appreciate the
opportunity to be a part of your campus experience. You are worthy of our support, worthy of
being heard, and worthy of making a difference!
Welcome to the NWTC family.
Sincerely,
H. Jeffrey Rafn, Ph.D.
