By joining the N-T-S-O, students share many benefits -- a private computer lab, a relaxing environment that includes a lounge, family friendly events, scholarship and networking opportunities, and, most of all, a sense of community. Applications are being accepted for the Spring 2016 semester.

Community, friendship and a place to print out your papers… The N-T-S-O is a welcoming organization for non-traditional students -- a place where they can have their cake, and eat it too. For Bobcat Update, I'm Jimmy Preston.
