among activities planned
The month of April showers North Lake students
with exciting events. Here’s a rundown of
activities for the last full month of school.
On April 4 & 5, students can go by the Student
Programs and Resources office in A-223 to cast
one vote for Teacher of the Year. Voting hours
are between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to
7 p.m. Full-time and adjunct teachers are eligible
for the award.
Career Services will hold a job fair April 6
in the Gallery between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
“We are anticipating 60 or more employers
from the DFW area,” said Crystal Cartridge,
a career planning and placement specialist.
Students who register and fill out an evaluation
will be entered in a drawing to win a $250 scholarship.
A grand total of $1,000 in scholarships will be
given away—drawings will be held hourly.
SPAR will host a Talent Show April 7 in the Courtyard
from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and admission is
free. Students who are interested in signing up
can visit the SPAR office, A-223, between 8:30
a.m. and 7 p.m.
“The deadline for entering is April first,”
said Carrie McGuire, a student program specialist.
“Any lyrical music needs to be turned in
at this time so that it can be reviewed. All students,
even staff, and faculty can participate,”
she said.
International Day will be held April 8 on the
patio outside the cafeteria. On this colorful
day, NLC students from around the globe wear their
traditional apparel. The event features entertainment,
food, music, and a fashion show. Students from
different cultures will have booths set up with
interesting information about their native lands.
International Day events will be held in the
cafeteria area from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and students
interested in participating need to contact Wanda
Whiten in the International Center by April 1.
“There is not a specific criteria on what
can be incorporated,” said Whitten. “All
students are encouraged to participate, and I
am open to creative ideas,” she said. Whitten
can be reached at 972- 273-3385 or by e-mail at
wsc7704@dcccd.edu.
Students will be honored on April 20 at the annual
Student Recognition Day event. SPAR and faculty
members will recognize students’ achievements
for the academic year. The ceremony will be held
in the Performance Hall at 12:30 p.m.
On April 29 at 7 p.m., SPAR will hold an Award
Banquet, where members of the Student Leadership
Institute, North Lake students, and others will
be recognized for their year-long efforts and
service.
With the busy month ahead, don’t forget
to study hard because finals are just around the
corner. Final Exams will be held May 9-13 and
graduation is May 12.
