The semester is off to a grand start. Enrollment, once again, looks strong. This is a very exciting time of year for everyone at TCL, beginning in the Admissions Office, continuing through the College Bookstore, and culminating in the sidewalks, hallways and the paths that lead to the classroom.
On the day before start of the fall semester, I watched about two dozen student posts on the TCL Facebook landing page, and I was thrilled to see how each student expressed her or his excitement about the start of the academic year. Comments like, “bring it on,” and “I can’t wait to get started” seem to capture the spirit. I believe faculty is equally excited to welcome students to their classrooms and labs. Some have posted Facebook comments expressing their excitement.
The energy at TCL is alive and there is definitely an uplifting feeling to the start of the semester, full of anticipation and full of hope. As a college community we embrace learning and the pathway beyond the classroom, lab or clinical setting that leads to a job or advanced higher education. We are thrilled to observe student success in many forms, which ultimately changes the economic landscape of our communities. As President Obama recently said, “education is the economic issue of our time.”
Go. Get started. Enjoy the benefits of learning. I hope to see every single student at Commencement when we celebrate new options for pathways that hold infinite reward.
