Mark your calendars! NTI will be celebrating its 50th anniversary on August 24th, 2007 (the first Friday of the state fair).

Started in 1957 at the site where the IDS building now stands, our 50th anniversary this year is a celebration of history and the future. NTI’s foundation of a quality education and employer critiqued curriculum combined with the latest technologies in systems, software and teaching methods makes us all excited about the next 50 years.

As you can imagine, over 2500 graduates, 50 years of instructors and over 3000 employers creates a vast network of friends, colleagues and business associates. We will be tapping into that network of contacts over the next few months to communicate a celebration August 24th, 2007 at our new state of the art campus in Eagan, MN that will mark the 50th anniversary and the fantastic voyage we are still embarked upon.

Click here to download the agenda. Some of the festivities include:

• A job fair with employers from all over MN and WI.
• An open house to current students, future students, alumni and all their friends and family.
• CADD demos and training opportunities.
• An old fashioned barbecue over looking beautiful Lake Pozlin in our back yard.

Please pass the word! Ask everyone to RSVP to RSVP at NTI.EDU as to your attendance and the number of guests you will be bring (we want to make sure you are fed well).

NTI winter ice fishing tournament was a huge success with many good sized Bluegills caught.

Just yesterday morning (Friday, May 12th, 2007) Chad in admissions and myself found that Lake Polzin has some nice Largemouth Bass.
