“Starting at NPC as a non-traditional, first-generation college student, I have been supported throughout my journey entirely by both staff and faculty. The plethora of campus resources that are provided here ensures the success of every student. As a recent graduate of National Park College, I feel more than prepared to continue my journey at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith. There, I will be obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership. I am so proud to call NPC my alma mater because it prepared me for my future. I am a future UAFS Lion, but I will forever be an NPC Nighthawk!”
