Our first major Homecoming event culminated in the concert Saturday night, starring Jim Cuddy and The Skydiggers. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to watch multiple generations of NT musicians perform some of their best-loved music to the many generations in the audience. Let\u2019s keep the spirit alive by making a lasting contribution to our scholarship fund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Celebrating Excellence campaign concludes at year end. As a result of contributions to date, we have been able to set up the new trophy case, restore some of the most iconic trophies and contribute over $3,500 to the scholarship fund at Commencement in October. We have decided to increase that amount by 10 percent next year. This will bring NTCI awards recognizing academics, athletics, arts and leadership more in line with current costs. We hope you will consider making a donation; one hundred percent will go directly to the scholarship fund. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generous donors will be acknowledged on a plaque on the trophy case itself. All contributors will receive tax receipts (over $25). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pentagon Patron: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,000 and above<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>NT Norseman: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$500 to $999<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Spirit Sponsor: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$250 to $499 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Naming rights for the trophy case: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$8,000.
