Texarkana College has been officially designated as a Caring Campus by the Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC), joining a select group of colleges nationwide recognized for cultivating a campus culture centered on care, engagement, and belonging.

Dr. Dixon Boyles, Vice President of Instruction, announced the designation as a milestone in TC’s mission to serve students not only academically but personally. “Starting out as a new college student can be an overwhelming experience,” Boyles said. “We are looking forward to providing our faculty and staff with strategies that give students a helping hand and a greater sense of belonging within our campus community.”

The Caring Campus Academy, sponsored by IEBC, is a national movement designed to strengthen student success by building authentic connections between students and college employees. Research consistently shows that students who feel known, welcomed, and supported are more likely to remain enrolled and complete their program of study.
