Fall 2022 Newsletter from Trustee Charlene Ward Johnson, District II
Aug 31, 2022
Dear Neighbors,
It is my pleasure to communicate with you through my first newsletter! I welcome this opportunity to serve on the Board of Trustees as we work to strengthen the relationship between Houston Community College and the communities we serve. HCC is ready
to provide the best in academic and workforce training for students starting or continuing their education.
It’s our mission, as an open-admission, public institution, to offer affordable, high-quality education that provides a pathway for academic advancement and careers in an increasingly global and technological society.
Our campuses continue to grow and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of education, and they are equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms and labs that allow in-person learning with faculty and staff who care about each student. We also have a team of experts ready to assist students – who may think college is unaffordable – with the tools to apply for and receive financial aid.
HCC North Forest campuses offer Change Your Life classes, as well as Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) and Apple computer classes. Check them out on the website! And don’t overlook the other advantages of HCC Northeast, such as the opportunity to host community meetings at the campuses.
Technology support is also available
HCC also supports students with obtaining computers and internet access, including Wi-Fi hotspots available for checkout from the HCC Library. Discounts are available on the purchase of computers from leading manufacturers. The college also offers free use of software from leading companies such as Microsoft and Adobe. HCC campuses and outdoor venues, including college parking lots, are also equipped for wireless access to make studying more flexible and convenient
So, why not take advantage of the more than 300 programs HCC offers or recommend HCC to students you may know? There are more ways to learn now than ever before – and enrolling is easy by visiting hccs.edu/fall2022. You can also call 713.718.2000 or email us at student.info@hccs.edu to get started.
See you soon at Houston Community College!
Respectfully,
Charlene Ward Johnson
