MPCC recognized as Friend of Miss Rodeo Nebraska

Dr. Jody Tomanek, vice president of academic affairs and North Platte Community College, accepts the Friends of Miss Rodeo Nebraska Award Monday night during the Miss Rodeo Nebraska Pageant at NPCC’s South Campus.

Mid-Plains Community College was honored during the speech portion of the competition for going “above and beyond” to support the pageant.

The recognition was based on the college’s contribution of two-year, renewable full-tuition scholarships to every Miss Rodeo Nebraska and Miss Teen Rodeo Nebraska crowned.

Additionally, MPCC donates facilities for the pageant, clinics and meetings; dorm rooms for contestants and a bus and driver to escort visiting state queens.
