The Creativity Awards at NCTC for the 2024-25 academic year were a monumental success! Each year, the call goes out to our collective community for sixth graders all the way up to adult, non-professional writers to submit their best work for consideration in our annual review, Sonder. This year, we received over 200 pieces of writing and art! After our dedicated jurors, who are all faculty volunteers from our English, Speech & Foreign Language, and Art departments, experienced them all, fifty-five were chosen for publication.
