The celebration will involve events throughout year, all related to the number 20.
On Jan. 20, the NVC cafeteria offered free 20 oz. fountain drinks with the purchase of lunch or dinner.
During the month of February, students were offered 20 percent off at the bookstore.
On March 20, Menchies Alamo Ranch offered students and faculty 20 percent off entire purchase and throughout the anniversary year, it will offer the same discount from noon to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday.
“We are partnering up with different entities and working with them to get students discounts,” Serafin said.
Students should visit alamo.edu/nvc for more information, Serafin said.
