A Message from TCC President Leigh Goodson to our valued Congressional Delegation and key stakeholders:

This Blue Book provides an overview of Tulsa Community College, including our involvement in the American Association of Community College’s Pathways Project, our college profile, and our grants portfolio.

TCC is the largest two-year college in Oklahoma, serving more than 25,000 students annually on four campuses - Metro, Northeast, Southeast and West. In 2015, TCC became one of 30 community colleges nationwide selected for the American Association of Community College’s Pathways Project. Pathways provides best practices to help us align our academic and student support services to increase graduation and transfer rates for our students. In just three years, TCC is seeing significant improvements in student success outcomes.

We are succeeding in spite of fewer resources. Since 2015, we have experienced a 24 percent reduction in State funding. TCC is doing everything possible to prevent these cuts from negatively impacting students.

TCC faculty and staff are committed to raising persistence and graduation rates to prepare students for university transfer or to enter the workforce. To support our Pathways initiative, TCC is pursuing grants that focus on engagement and advising to accelerate student success. In this book you will find information on TCC’s current grants, as well as potential future grants, such as Title III SIP, Humanities Initiatives at Community Colleges, and S-STEM. These funds will strengthen current TCC programs to further increase success rates for our students.

Although TCC has dedicated local funding stream through property taxes, increased grant support provides essential supplemental funding to increase and enhance programs focused on student achievement. Any information your office can provide related to state and federal grants will assist us in planning for new initiatives amid what remains an uncertain fiscal future.

Sincerely,

Leigh B. Goodson, Ph.D.TCC President & CEO

PATHWAYS

Why Pathways at TCC?Pathways is key for us to reverse low graduation, retention, and transfer rates for

students. Creating structured academic pathways provides students with a program

map to help them advance through their courses for either university or workforce

success.

Pathways Implementation TimelineTransitioning to the Pathways model requires a large cultural shift. Pathways takes

5-10 years, but the biggest transition happens the first three years while the College

undergoes significant redesign of its organizational structure and operating methods.

TCC is currently in its third year of Pathways.

What Will We Gain After Implementation? Increased completion and transfer rates, learning outcomes matched to university

needs, labor market outcomes for in-demand jobs, and equity to ensure minority, low-

income and underserved students have an equal chance of success.

Working with Common Ed

TCC faculty are developing a College Success course for concurrent enrollment

students focusing on skills necessary to transition from high school to college.
