2022-2023 President's Annual Report

During the academic period 2022 - 2023, there were a significant number of events and activities that proved foundational to the learning experiences of students as well as beneficial to the outcomes proposed by faculty. This report provides an update of such events, and does so with a focus on those that are considered salient. The readers are therefore encouraged to peruse the institutional updates and learn more about Texas College as it operated with the annual theme of “Embracing Moments of Opportunity.” Texas College has stood strong during recent years when there have been many challenges impinging upon higher education communities e.g., plagued by a pandemic; a period of high inflation and economic concerns; and a time of dynamics with enrollment challenges and the retention of students. And, although affected in some instances,

the College has met such challenges with a face of determination to do well. The COVID - 19 pandemic accelerated trends that were already underway in how students learn, work, connect, and use technology. Now more than ever before, the use of technology and the adaption of learning through virtual processes became more necessary and utilized than ever before. And, as a growing demand took place for the need to remain functional, there was also a growing demand on

resources i.e., technology hardware and software; manpower and adequate funding for the delivery of the educational process in a seamless manner. Such challenges also led to the need for new skillsets and new ways of thinking about the delivery of the educational processes. Moreover, challenges also required adjustments that called for changes in strategic directions of operations with partnering and finding new ways to leverage resources, to the benefit of students.
