The INSIDER - 2021 Year End Edition

THE PRESIDENT’S PEN

Dr. Dwight J. Fennell

Dear Alumni and Friends, What a year 2021 has been for everyone, including Texas College. However, through it all we still know that Jesus Is Lord! We have been fortunate to be able to provide scholarships to deserving students; maintain the physical plant of the College; secure continued accreditation of the Teacher Education Program with the Texas Education Agency; embrace the community by being a vaccination site; provide support and relief to families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays; receive two significant grants from the National Science Foundation; receive the Home Depot Retool Your School Grant; renovate Gilmore - Hartley, the Glass Building; and the D. R. Glass Library (to name a few). For all that has been mentioned, we want to thank everyone who has supported Texas College over the years. We ask your continued prayers as we enter these unprecedented times. We also acknowledge that a new year is days away and we hope that you will take this opportunity to make one final 2021 tax - deductible gift to Texas College. We are committed to fulfill the recently revised Vision Statement that reads, “Texas College – a creative, culturally diverse, inclusive environment, preparing students who aspire to be purpose - driven, financially secure and marketable leaders.” We thank you for joining with us to fulfill this vision. We appreciate you and may God continue to bless you richly. Happy New Year and stay safe! Sincerely, Dwight J. Fennell President
