5 easy, relaxing stretches for stress relief |
Give yourself a break with soothing stretches that send stress and anxiety packing.
“Stretching often is a neglected type of exercise, but it couldn’t be easier,” says Carol Ewing Garber, Ph.D., a professor of movement sciences at Teachers College, Columbia University. “You don’t need to be fit or use special equipment, and you don’t have to do much to experience benefits. Stretching makes you slow down and focus on the present, which also becomes a sort of mindfulness meditation.”

Due to the vacant position for the MLT Program Director, we will not be able to accept new students into the program. Below is the messaging that the College will be using for those interested in the program.
Notice to Prospective Students:
Thank you for your interest in New River CTC and our Medical Laboratory Technician Program. Effective October 1, 2021, the MLT program will be considered “inactive” by our accrediting body because we do not have a Program Director in place. Unfortunately, we cannot take new students without a qualified Program Director. We are undertaking a national search, and once we have hired a qualified program director, we will reactivate our program and resume accepting students into the technical phase of the program.
You can still take your prerequisite classes to apply to other programs with New River CTC. If you would like to schedule an advising appointment, you may contact Robert Stanton at rstanton@newriver.edu or (304) 929-5487.
You can find a list of active MLT programs here:
We will keep you informed of the status of our program as updates become available. If you have any questions, you may contact Dr. Wendy Patriquin, Dean of Transfer and Pre-professional Programs at wpatriquin@newriver.edu.
