Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers and viewers! We are grateful for you.
One of the Media Writing students shared his perspective as a student far from home on this day. You can read Rafael's commentary here:

For me, as an international student, this date has a different flavor, one that combines gratitude with an inescapable dose of reality. I don’t come from a country where Thanksgiving is a deep-rooted tr...

🛠 Building Dreams Together - a powerful reminder of what a comunity can achieve when it comes together. On October 10th, students, staff, and parents from NWACC partnered with the non-profit Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build 48 beds for children in Benton and Washington Counties who don't have a place to sleep.

📍 Using equipment from the college's Integrated Design Lab, volunteers turned donated materials into beds.

🌟 For the children now tucked in at night, these aren't just wood and nails - they're a safe place to learn, to grow, and to rest.
