Leigh B. Goodson, Ph.D. President and CEO, Tulsa Community College
A Message from TCC President Leigh Goodson to our valued Congressional Delegation and key stakeholders:
This Blue Book provides an overview of Tulsa Community College, including our involvement in the American Association of Community College’s Pathways Project, our college profle, and our grants portfolio.
TCC is the largest two-year college in Oklahoma, serving approximately 25,000 students annually on four campuses - Metro, Northeast, Southeast and West. In 2015, TCC became one of 30 community colleges nationwide selected for the American Association of Community College’s Pathways Project. Pathways provides best practices to help us align our academic and student support services to increase graduation and transfer rates for our students. Since implementing these practices, TCC has seen signifcant improvements in student success outcomes.
We are succeeding in spite of fewer resources. Since 2015, we have experienced a 21.4 percent reduction in State funding. TCC is doing everything possible to prevent these cuts from negatively impacting students.
TCC faculty and staff are committed to raising persistence and graduation rates to prepare students for university transfer or to enter the workforce. To support our Pathways initiative, TCC is pursuing grants that focus on engagement, workforce development, and advising to accelerate student success. In this book you will fnd information on TCC’s current grants, as well as potential future grants, such as Title III Strengthening Institutions Program and National Science Foundation STEM grants. These funds will strengthen current TCC programs to further increase success rates for our students.
Although TCC has a dedicated local funding stream through property taxes, increased grant support provides essential supplemental funding to increase and enhance programs focused on student achievement. Any information your offce can provide related to state and federal grants will assist us in planning for new initiatives amid what remains an uncertain fscal future.
Sincerely,
Leigh B. Goodson, Ph.D. TCC President & CEO

PATHWAYS
Why Pathways at TCC?
Pathways is key for us to reverse low graduation, retention, and transfer rates for
students. Creating structured academic pathways provides students with a program
map to help them advance through their courses for either university or workforce
success.
Pathways Implementation Timeline
Transitioning to the Pathways model requires a large cultural shift. Pathways takes
5-10 years, but the biggest transition happens the frst three years while the College
undergoes signifcant redesign of its organizational structure and operating methods.
TCC is currently in its third year of Pathways.
What Will We Gain After Implementation?
Increased completion and transfer rates, learning outcomes matched to university
needs, labor market outcomes for in-demand jobs, and equity to ensure minority, low-
income and underserved students have an equal chance of success.
Working with Common Ed
TCC faculty are developing a College Success course for concurrent enrollment
students focusing on skills necessary to transition from high school to college.
