I am grateful for those that came before us and made us what we are today. I am grateful for the incredible faculty and staff that work hard each day to create a better future for our students. I\u2019m grateful for the students themselves, who, regardless of their path here, chose TCC and enrich our campus and our professional lives in more ways than they could ever know.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, I\u2019m grateful for our community and its steadfast support of TCC for more than a half century. Without the community, there wouldn\u2019t be a community college. Unfortunately, our region has had to overcome its fair share of hardship in 2018. While there were many challenges and some truly devastating tragedies, from Hurricane Michael to the Hot Yoga shooting, through it all, I saw strength, generosity, compassion, resilience, and continued encouragement.
