NETC employees united on February 7 to bring awareness about heart disease in women by participating in National Wear Red Day.

Wearing different shades of red, staff and faculty showed their commitment to supporting the American Heart Association’s mission to combat this critical health issue. The wearing of red on National Wear Red Day was designed to spark conversations and served as a visual reminder of the importance of heart health.

February is American Heart Month — a time when we come together to raise awareness about heart disease, the leading cause of death for women and a significant health concern for all. Heart disease doesn’t always come with a warning sign, which is why education and preventative measures are so critical. Go Red Month stands for advocacy, awareness, and the power we all have to make healthier choices for ourselves and our loved ones.

The NETC Foundation proudly welcomes five distinguished professionals as new members of its Board of Directors. Joining the board are:

• Lee Chambers, Sandhill Telephone Cooperative

• Ryan Melton, Schaeffler Group USA

• Cullen Bryant, Bryant Farms

• Charlie Vance, Retired Banker

• Lauren Griggs, Duke Energy, who serving as Secretary/Treasurer

These accomplished individuals bring a diverse array of expertise and insight to the Foundation’s mission of supporting educational initiatives at Northeastern Technical College (NETC) and fostering regional community development.

They join current board members, including Chairman Elisabeth McNiel, Vice Chairman John Melton, Ronald Henegan, and James Roberts, along with Dan Bozard and Tom Pharr, representing the NETC Area Commission.

ID Badges: All employees and students are required to wear their college ID badges at all times while on campus. This helps us quickly identify members of our campus community and maintain a secure environment. If you do not have an ID badge, you can obtain one from the Enrollment Center this week M-Th from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.  (AND you get a snazzy Trailblazer Lanyard or Retractable Badge Holder!!)

Parking Decals: Every employee and student must have a valid parking decal displayed on their vehicle. This is essential for campus security and parking management. If you do not have a Parking Decal you should obtain one from the Enrollment Center this week M-Th from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. You will need your license plate number to get your parking decal. 

3. Visitor Check-In: All visitors to campus must check in at the main office located in the 100 building. At community campuses, visitors should see the campus coordinator. Visitors will be required to show a photo ID, and sign in, to obtain a visitor’s pass. Please remind any guests or visitors of this procedure to ensure a smooth check-in process.

Employee Parking: All employees are required to park in the designated parking lot near the 100 building. The only exception to this rule is for employees with an accommodation on file.

Student Parking: All students must park in the designated 200 building parking lot. This helps manage traffic flow and ensures that parking is available for both students and staff in the appropriate areas. The only exception to this rule is for students with an accommodation on file.

If an employee or student does not have their College ID, a visitor's pass will be issued for the day. However, only two visitor passes will be issued per semester, after reaching the limit, there will be a $5 charge for each visitor's pass. 

Your cooperation with these policies is crucial to keeping our campus secure and orderly. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out to campus security or HR.

Thank you for your attention to these important measures and for your continued commitment to making Northeastern Technical College a safe place for everyone.
