Welcome to Fall 2022

Welcome to Fall 2022

Dear Students, I was so delighted to see so many new faces at our New Student Convocation last Friday. It was a tremendous event that allowed us to welcome you to TCC and introduce you to all the resources available here on campus. It reminded me that while those of us here at the College are quite familiar with the whole experience, new students are not. For many, you are the first in your family to attend college. Others may…

Welcome to Fall 2018

Welcome to Fall 2018

Each August, as we prepare for the new academic year, TCC suspends operations for professional development and a campus-wide welcome back event, Eagles RISE.  This year, the theme of the event centered around WHAT, HOW, and WHY – what we do, how we do it and why we do it – based on a popular TED Talk by Simon Sinek.

Welcome to a New Academic Year

It’s Welcome Week at Tallahassee Community College, when we get to greet a new class of thousands of new and returning students to our College and get excited about beginning another new academic year. I want to thank each of our students, faculty and staff for choosing TCC. This will be my sixteenth year employed at the College, and my fifth year as President, and yet the enthusiasm from our campus family for what we do here still continues to…

Welcome Back 2014

Welcome Back 2014

What makes us successful? Is it the number of students we enroll or the number of students we graduate? Is it how many faculty who have Ph.D.’s or how many awards our faculty have won? Is it the percentage of the state budget we receive or the percentage of the community who support us? The faculty and staff of TCC have been asking these and other questions and having a lot of conversations about our values and how we can…
