Northeast Alabama Community College celebrated record enrollment numbers in 2025, with more than 3,500 for-credit students registered this fall. The college is also adding two new health care programs beginning in January, diagnostic medical sonography and medical laboratory technology, supported by a 3 million dollar appropriation from the state legislature.

On the athletic front, Alabama's women's basketball team remains undefeated after defeating Kennesaw State 79 to 65, extending its home winning streak to 10 games.
