Spring 2017 Newsletter from Trustee Dave Wilson

Jun 14, 2017

Dear Neighbors,

As your trustee, it is my honor and privilege to work to ensure Houston Community College (HCC) is a good steward of the resources you entrust to them. I serve because I believe HCC is a valuable educational and workforce development resource for the Greater Houston region.

I believe it is not enough to recruit students. We must guide and mentor them, provide pathways for the college experience through completion, and prepare them to meet the needs of Houston’s industries and businesses.

HCC needs to work closely and continue communicating with the industries in the communities we serve. To be successful in our mission, we must determine the needs of the residents we serve as well as provide our students with the knowledge and skills industries require for employment.

Our exceptional students need your help to thrive and obtain their goals. In the 2015-2016 school year, 1,085 of our students received $1,251,644 in scholarships from the HCC Foundation. For many students, these scholarships are the only reason they could afford a college education.

Today, I invite you to help the HCC Foundation achieve its ambitious goal of funding $3 million in scholarships and awards by the year 2020. Thank you for your continued support. Together, we ARE Houston’s Community College.

In Service,

David Wilson
Board of Trustees
District II
