Bill Caver came
to North Central Texas College in December 1977, from
East Texas State University in Commerce, where he was
working toward a doctoral degree in Counseling and Guidance.
Both his Master's and Bachelor's degrees were earned
at ETSU-Texarkana, Texas, which is his hometown. Bill
was well acquainted with the role of the community college
after beginning Texarkana Community College -- married
and with two small children -- following completion
of his tour of duty in the service.
One of the many reasons Bill chose to work in the community
college system was the progressive way the community
college reaches out to all segments of the community
to provide services to every segment. That "not
just a number " feeling that students tell him
is abundant at NCTC is an example of the community college
concept that made him want to be a part of the innovative
and dynamic growth at NCTC.
Besides his counseling and testing duties, Bill is
also the Director of Veterans Services. He feels a special
affinity toward the veterans attending NCTC since he
served in the U.S. Navy and is a Vietnam veteran. He
was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal with Combat "V"
for meritorious service in Vietnam from January through
December, 1969. Bill's son is currently serving in the
United States Marine Corps. Bill is an active member
of the Texas Association of College Veterans Programs
Officials.
Bill is active in his community, and this is exemplified
particularly in his long service as a reserve deputy
with the Cooke County Sheriff Department. He is a licensed
peace officer with an advanced certification and his
been serving his community in this capacity for fourteen
years.
In his spare time, Bill he likes to be involved in
family activities, and he and his wife Mary are enjoying
the new thrill of being grandparents.
