A message from the Executive Director for Student Success, Retention, and TRIO-EOC
Finals can be challenging but remember you’ve been preparing for this moment all semester. Trust in the hard work you’ve already put in and give yourself grace during these final days. Take breaks when you need them, rest your mind, and keep believing in your ability to succeed.
As you head into your exams, remember these words from James Baldwin: “Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck—but, most of all, endurance.” You have what it takes to endure and finish strong!
As we approach Thanksgiving, take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come and show gratitude for your resilience and growth. The Student Success team is rooting for you every step of the way. We believe in you—now go and show what you’re capable of! If you’d like to schedule an appointment to chat with a success coach, visit us at www.texarkanacollege.edu/studentsuccess.
Sincerely,
Lee Williams III
Executive Director for Student Success, Retention, and TRIO-EOC

After recognizing our TRIO-EOC Scholarship recipients, we celebrated two standout achievements: Texarkana College’s Adult Education program
received the prestigious EOC Overcoming Barriers Scholarship Partnership Award, honoring its commitment to supporting students through challenges.
Plus, Chaddrick Moore was celebrated as a Student Success Unsung Hero for his dedication and impact on student success.
The food, catered by Liberty-Eylau High School and TC Culinary programs, was a hit—topped off with cookies from The Cake House. The selfie station kept everyone buzzing, capturing memories. Missed out? Be sure to catch our next event and join in the fun!
