Newsletter from Trustee Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth	District IX

Dear Neighbors,

The need for higher education and career advancement never stops. Despite the effects of an ongoing pandemic, Houston Community College continues to provide courses and programs that prepare students for well- paying, meaningful jobs.

As a Director-at-Large of the Association of Community College Trustees, I am working hard to advance the interests of 1,200 community, technical and junior colleges in the United States and beyond.

I am proud to say that our six college system has been very successful in developing longstanding relationships with local organizations throughout District 9 to effect positive educational change in our communities. The HCC Board of Trustees, administration, faculty and staff are working hard to
continue an open dialogue with you to provide highly relevant programs that provide needed education for in-demand occupations.

We are also striving to build our enrollment through dual- credit academic programs for high school students, expanded workforce training in diverse fields, community learning classes for personal development and lifelong learning
for those over 55.
To respond to such times as these, we have been more focused
than ever before, offering online and hybrid courses to keep students moving towards the completion of their studies and the start of new careers.

Discounts are available on the purchase of computers from leading manufacturers

Free use of software from leading companies such as Microsoft and Adobe.

Wi-Fi is available at all HCC campuses and outdoor venues, including college parking lots.
Professional technical support is also available to assist you in your journey.
Please visit hccs.edu or call 713.718.2000 today to learn more. HCC is here for you!

Sincerely,

Pretta VanDible Stallworth, Ph.D., PMP HCC Board of Trustees
