A message from the President

This is a very exciting time at Northwest Technical College. As we enter our fifth decade, our enrollments remain strong, new program possibilities continue to be explored, course delivery options are reaching more learners, and more flexible customized training opportunities have been developed.

The College's enrollment now exceeds 1,400 and is among the state two-year college leaders in growth. This increase reflects both the College's commitment to providing increasingly accessible learning opportunities as well as a sensitivity to the educational employment needs of the community and region. We are also pleased by the on-going additions to new learning environments, increased access to updated learning technologies and a faculty that is focused on the success of each individual. Recently, the College received gold status by the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system for learning facilities and full-time learner retention.

We are now pleased to provide a gateway to the College's next generation web-site. The site has been designed to provide even better access to the opportunities at Northwest Technical College. You are encouraged to visit the site on a regular basis to learn more about how the College can be a part of your future. Everyday, the learners, faculty and staff are working towards building new successes. Whether you are a previous learner, current learner or a special friend, we invite you to be part of the special spirit and legacy of Northwest Technical College.

Best regards,
Jon E. Quistgaard
President
