Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope you all had a great week off. I definitely did-I traveled to Italy with the Texarkana College Road Scholars program and it was an experience I'll never forget. If you're interested in exciting travel opportunities, keep an eye on our Road Scholars program. You can learn about upcoming trips and check out photos from past trips on our website.

Shout Outs

• Congrats to everyone who made the Fall 2015 President's and Dean's Lists! View the full list.
• Your TC Student Government delegation recently attended the Region III Conference at Panola College, where keynote speaker State Rep. Chris Paddie addressed questions that affect community colleges, such as funding and open-carry. TC SGA Advisor Doug Saffel was named Region III Advisor of the Year. If you'd like to learn more about SGA or get involved, visit their website and follow them on Facebook.
• Check out TC grad Bobby Player in this month's ALT Magazine (starting on page 20). Bobby proves that it's never too late to start over: at the age of 72, she enrolled at TC to begin working toward her associate degree. We're so proud of her.
• And in Four States Living Magazine's Best of Texarkana issue, check out our nurses! Instructor Cindy Smith was named Best Nurse, and all of the nominees are TC nursing grads. Way to go, nurses. You represent TC well!

That's all for today, but keep an eye on our website calendar and our Facebook page for updates on campus news and events. I'm also on Twitter—send me a tweet @TCpresJHR and say hello. I'd love to hear from you!
