Dear Neighbors,
Hello District II, it is my pleasure to bring you greetings and share the latest information from HCC! As I steadily approach my one- year anniversary as your Trustee I continue to work to strengthen the relationship
between Houston Community College and the communities we serve. HCC continues to adapt and change to meet the needs of our students in a rapidly changing society, from improving building infrastructure to expanding our program offerings. We strive to be the very best in education and workforce development.
As we progress out of the COVID-19 pandemic I hope you will recognize that HCC is increasing our community presence. Whether it is hosting Town Halls, attending community fairs, or engaging with high school students, you will see HCC connecting with residents within the
community. Houston Community College is here to serve the needs of all, and we welcome the input of the community.
