As we close out the year at Texarkana College, we want to take a moment to celebrate with you. Whether you're graduating in December 2025 or continuing your journey with us in Spring 2026, you’ve done something powerful you kept showing up, pushing through, and making progress toward your goals.
To our December 2025 graduates, congratulations! We honor your determination, your resilience, and the path you’ve paved. Your achievement is more than a milestone; it’s a legacy in motion.
And to our continuing students, we see you. This winter break is your time to rest, recenter, and reflect. Give yourself permission to breathe, to slow down, and to take care of your whole self. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause and recharge.
As a reminder, your Student Success team is here for you now and ready to support you in 2026 with resources like student success coaching, tutoring, the care closet, food pantry, workshops, and more because we believe in your potential. Anne Lamott once said “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
From all of us at Texarkana College Student Success, Retention, and TRIO-EOC, we wish you peace, joy, and a happy holiday season. We can’t wait to continue walking beside you in the new year.
All the Best, Lee Williams III Executive Director Student Success | Retention | TRIO-EOC
