Academic Foundations Department Chair
Arlington, Texas, United States
The Academic Foundations department at the Tarrant County College Southeast Campus encompasses English for Speakers of Other Languages, Transition to College, Integrated Reading and Writing, and the Reading/Writing/ESOL Resource Center. I am excited for the opportunity to help facilitate the long-term and short-term growth of this department, and to serve as an advocate, collaborator, mentor, and leader for the amazing faculty, staff, and student assistants in these areas. In our joint role to provide a solid academic foundation for new-to-college students, we have a tremendous impact on the first year experience, student retention, and on-going student success. For many students, we are the face of TCC. As such, it is critical that we serve our College and our students with the best curriculum, best processes, best ideas, best people.
