Are you graduating from TCC in May? Give a shout out to your friends and family on the big screen on the night of graduation (May 9) during the pre-graduation PowerPoint presentation at the ORU Mabee Center.

1. How does it feel to be getting your associate degree?
2. Who would you like to thank for helping you along the way?
3. What does this night mean to you and your family?
4. How did TCC prepare you for your next step? 

Please write your quote in a complete sentence. Feel free to leave a comment on the blog or send the quote in an email to mcommunications@tulsacc.edu. Please include your first and last name along with your submission.

"Look mom and dad, I did it! Thank you to my parents and grandparents for always encouraging me. And, thank you to my wonderful husband for supporting me and providing for me through these times in our life. Finally, thank the beautiful Lord for blessing my life, so that I can be where I am today!"

Example:

“Graduating from TCC is allowing me to not only tell my seven children, but also to show them, how truly valuable an education is. With my husband's support, and all the help I have received from the great instructors I've had at TCC, I feel like there isn't anything I can't achieve once I set my mind to it.”

--Sabrina Hall, 2012 TCC Graduate

Students say Honors Program is fun!

Have you ever thought about taking a TCC Honors Course? Or maybe envisioned yourself walking in your graduation garb accompanied with a scholarly gold medallion around your neck? Don't just dream it---do it! The Honors Program at TCC is one of the best secrets of the College. Scholarships, camaraderie, support and fun await you......Just listen to these students!

Do you 'bleed' blue or white?

No, TCC doesn't have a sports team, but you wouldn't know it from the Grad Blitz tailgate party that employees came to on Saturday afternoon. People whom I've seen sit quietly behind a desk were doing cheers and sporting TCC gear all in an effort to get more current students to file for graduation.

The tailgate party was a kickoff event for the phone calls that TCC employee volunteers will make on Tuesday and Thursday evenings this week to remind current students approaching degree completion that they need to see an academic advisor.

Why? Well, some students do not realize that they need to actually file for graduation. They think that if they finish the recommended courses in their degree plan, an associate degree will arrive in the mailbox. This simply isn't the case. If you are finishing your degree plan this fall, you have to visit an academic advisor no later than Oct. 26 in order to file for graduation. If you plan to finish your degree plan in the spring, you have to visit an academic advisor no later than the last Friday in March.
