Texarkana College announced its recipients of the annual National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) Excellence Awards at the Board of Trustees meeting held Monday. Each year TC recognizes two individuals as NISOD nominees, one faculty member and one staff member, who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment and contribution to their students and colleagues. 2022 honorees include Letha Colquitt, MNSc, RN, FNP-BC, who serves as an associate degree nursing faculty member, and Courtney Shoalmire, MSN, RN, who serves as TC’s dean of health sciences.
Colquitt has worked in higher education for 24 years and is currently an associate professor and coordinator for TC’s Associate Degree Nursing program.
“I believe that educating new nurses is important work,” said Colquitt. “Doing this work at TC helps our students improve their lives and expand their career possibilities. I got my start at TC and know that the education I received made a difference in my life as well.”
