The annual Northeast Texas Poetry Reading on Friday, September 6 at 11 a.m. will again occur at the Foyer of the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts on the ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ campus.  The public is invited for this free event, the twelfth of its kind in as many years. This year in addition to six readings of the highest-ranked poems of the adult and student divisions, and a presentation of winning Northeast Texas images, two speakers will share their perceptions of our region. 

For the twelfth-straight year since 2008, Cypress Bank has presented a high-end MacBook laptop for the use of ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ honors students.  This year’s Cypress Bank Scholar is Sam Josiah Griffin.  He is the third son, and fifth child of Dr. Steven and Joy Griffin to have matriculated in the honors program at ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ. Homeschooled in Pittsburg, Griffin has excelled in nineteen hours of classes at the college, and already as an entering freshman has served as a major contributor to the honors film on Adina de Zavala.

ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ will be closed Monday, Sept. 2 for Labor Day. We will resume our regular class and office schedule on Tuesday, Sept. 3. In case of an emergency on campus during the closure, please contact security at 903-563-1417.
