GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A Northeast Wisconsin technical college is in the running for a $1 million prize.
NWTC in Green Bay is one of 20 community colleges nationwide being considered for the prestigious 2025 Aspen Prize that recognizes excellence in student outcomes, both in college and after graduation
The colleges selected for this honor stand out among more than 1,000 community colleges for achieving high and improving levels of student success, as well as providing equitable outcomes for Black and Hispanic students and those from lower-income backgrounds.
“This is a moment of immense pride at NWTC as we celebrate our recognition as one of the nation’s top community colleges by the Aspen Institute. This is a clear testament to the dedication and success of our employees, partners, and community. This achievement will fuel our momentum as we continue our mission in transforming lives through higher education,” said NWTC president, Kristen Raney.
The selection process began in October 2023, when Aspen invited 150 community colleges to apply, based on data showing strong, improving, and equitable student outcomes in key areas such as retention, completion, and transfer.
The winner will be announced in the spring of 2025.
