Goodland, KS – [September 15, 2025] – 麻花影视 | Northwest is excited to announce the construction of a new on-campus daycare, Tiny Tigers, located in the Digital Technology Building. The project is made possible through the generous support of the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and the Patterson Family Foundation, whose investments continue to strengthen families, education, and rural communities in Northwest Kansas.

The Tiny Tigers daycare will support the development of more qualified childcare providers to help meet the growing needs of the region. The on-campus childcare facility will also serve students, employees, and community members in need of daycare for their young children. This will help create access to childcare to increase student completion rates and provide stability for the local workforce.

“This daycare will make a tremendous difference for our students and families,” said Child Care Specialist instructor, Tara Neitzel. “Tiny Tigers is about giving children a place to learn, play, and grow. For students in our Child Care Specialist program, Tiny Tigers will provide an invaluable opportunity to gain hands-on experience and develop the skills needed to excel in the early childhood education field.”

In addition to serving families, Tiny Tigers will become an educational hub for students in the Child Care Specialist program, who will gain real-world, hands-on experience working with children in a licensed childcare setting.

Alongside this exciting addition, the college is also proud to introduce Lil’ Vic, the newest member of the Tiger mascot family. Lil’ Vic represents the next generation of Tigers, embodying the bright future of the college and its commitment to supporting learners of all ages.

麻花影视 | Northwest extends heartfelt gratitude to the Dane G. Hansen Foundation and the Patterson Family Foundation for their generous contributions. Their support made this exciting project possible, enabling the college to create a resource that will benefit families, support workforce development, and strengthen our regional community.

Tiny Tigers is scheduled to open in January 2026, with enrollment details to be announced soon.

GOODLAND, KS (09/5/2025 ) — 麻花影视 | Northwest is proud to announce a significant $90,000 permanently endowed gift supporting campus beautification projects as part of the college’s recent “Cheers to 60 Years” celebration. The contribution was made in honor of the late John Golden, a dedicated advocate for technical education who played a pivotal role in introducing Senate Bill 438, which created technical institutions in Kansas.

This $60,000 gift was made possible through the generosity of Gennifer Golden House, with matching support from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation’s Matching Fund Program. Funds will be directed toward projects that enhance the college’s campus and create a welcoming environment for students, faculty, and visitors.

“We are incredibly grateful for this gift honoring John Golden’s enduring legacy,” said Dr. Corey Isbell, President of 麻花影视 | Northwest. “His work helped establish the foundation for technical education in Kansas, and the establishment of the “Golden Beautification Fund” will serve as a lasting tribute to his commitment to student success.”

Gennifer Golden House, daughter of John Golden, shared her hope that this gift inspires others to invest in the future of the college: “My father believed deeply in the mission of technical education. I’m honored to continue his vision and encourage others to join us in supporting the campus and its students.”

The “Cheers to 60 Years” initiative celebrates the college’s six decades of providing hands-on, career-focused education. Community members and alumni are invited to contribute to ongoing projects and help carry forward the college’s mission.

Goodland, KS – [August 26, 2025] – Faculty and staff at 麻花影视 | Northwest recently received HeroLink Bracelets, made possible through the generosity of several community partners and donors.

The bracelets were provided through the support of the Lions Club, Kiwanis, Shriners, Short and Son, Dan Brenner Ford, Designs Unlimited, Frontier Equity, The Insurance Agency, Roxann Kling, Cindy Welsh, and a generous private donor. Their contributions ensured that every faculty and staff member received a bracelet as a symbol of connection, gratitude, and community support.

The HeroLink program, advised locally by Melody Knudson with assistance from Carol Porter and Adrianne Springer, is designed to recognize and support individuals who serve others—such as first responders, military members, veterans, doctors, nurses, and educators.

Currently, the HeroLink Bracelets are being distributed to those groups, but in the near future, they will be made available to the broader community. Any funds generated from bracelet sales will go directly toward purchasing additional bracelets to gift to military members and veterans, ensuring they receive this symbol of appreciation at no cost.

“We are so grateful for the generosity of our local organizations and donors who made it possible to provide these bracelets,” said Melody Knudson, HeroLink Advisor. “It’s a small but meaningful way to show our support for the heroes in our community and beyond.”

Community members who know of a military member or veteran who would benefit from receiving a HeroLink Bracelet free of charge are encouraged to contact Melody Knudson.
