I am excited to report that Tallahassee Community College has set a new institutional record for one of our most important student success metrics – graduation. As of our most recent student cohort, TCC’s three-year graduation rate now stands at a historic 42 percent. This represents a staggering five percent increase over the prior year and a full 15 percentage points above the average of our peers nationally. In addition, graduation rates for nearly all student subgroups have increased, and…

She didn’t know it, but she had instantly…

Students, as well as the instructors who teach them and the staff who support them, have spent the last several months and years working steadily toward this moment….
