The INSIDER - VOLUME 18 SPRING/SUMMER 2022

Dear Alumni and Friends: We are pleased to provide you with this edition of the INSIDER Magazine. For Texas College, the INSIDER serves as a way of providing news events that are germane to former and planned events of the College. In this regard, we remain excited about the things that have occurred during the 2021 - 2022 school year and are equally excited about what is projected before us for 2022 - 2023. For example, the College has again successfully completed the Fifth Year Interim Report with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). This action purports that the institution maintains its accreditation status through 2026. Further, for 2022 the College has maintained her accreditation status with the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This purports that great opportunities exist for students enrolled in any of the eight Educational Preparation Programs (EPP), offered by the Division of Education. The College is now pursuing accreditation in the major of Social Work. To this end, approval of Bench Mark I, of a three - phase process has taken place by the accrediting body, Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). It should also be noted that with all that has occurred with COVID - 19 and the varying mutations, the administration for 2022 - 2023 is planning for face - to - face instruction. Notwithstanding, the administration will continue to monitor aspects of the pandemic and make the necessary adjustments as needed. We will keep our stakeholders updated and informed via the College’s website as well as public relations resources like “The Beacon Newsletter” and the “INSIDER.” I pray that you will enjoy this edition of the INSIDER Magazine. You are also encouraged to share it with others. Thank you for your continued support of Texas College. Sincerely, Dwight J. Fennell President
