Veteran and Service Member Recognition
Since World War I , challenge coins have been used as a way to honor , encourage , and reward individuals for their personal and professional accomplishments . A symbol of strength and commitment , these coins are given to NWTC ’ s graduating service men and women . The College appreciates the service and sacrifices these students provided while serving our country and their dedication to continuing their education . NWTC recognizes these students as an important part of the campus community and therefore awards them a special challenge coin . Graduates wearing the red , white and blue cords are students that are military veterans or are currently serving in the Armed Forces .
Global Designations
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College is committed to expanding the world view and global perspectives of students by providing opportunities to interact with international students and to understand various cultures from around the world . The stoles you see with a flag motif either represent the home country of those international students who have studied at the College or the country students studied in while participating in an NWTC-sponsored study abroad trip or in an international service learning opportunity during their time at NWTC .
