TC President Carl Nelson recently attended a meeting of the Coordinating Board of Colleges and Universities in Amarillo, Texas.
According to Nelson, the purpose of this meeting was to explain to the newly-appointed Chairman of the Board of Community Junior Colleges, what Texas Community Colleges are all about.
Greg Mitchell, recently appointed by Governor Bill Clements, was informed by a board of junior college presidents on what his duties would concern.
“My assignment was to explain governance and management, issues and trends, problems and solutions facing junior colleges,” President Nelson said.
“The other presidents and I explained the role and scope of our colleges, how we operate and how large we were,” the president said. “It was a very successful meeting.”
