This past Tuesday, despite the dreary weather, we gathered on campus for something powerful: a celebration of the life-changing impact of generosity.

Contributors and scholarship recipients came together in the LaVerne & Michael Gollob Event Room for the 15th annual Awards of Excellence Luncheon, a meaningful reminder that support at TJC doesn’t end at graduation.

Because of donors like you, 13 students received transition scholarships to help them take the next step toward their bachelor’s degrees, while 19 more are continuing their journey through the TJC-UTTyler Promise Transfer Scholarship.

A special thank you to our Scholarships Office for bringing this event to life and ensuring each student’s achievement was recognized so thoughtfully.

The Tyler Junior College Foundation is honored to steward the generosity of this community, turning gifts into opportunity and building a brighter future for all.

Rotary clubs across Tyler continue to make a lasting impact in our community, and the Rotary Club of Tyler recently carried on that tradition by hosting the 97th Annual Rotary Young Citizens Award Banquet.

Dr. Juan E. Mejia, President of Tyler Junior College, had the honor of serving as guest speaker, sharing words of gratitude and encouragement with this inspiring group of young leaders.

We are especially proud to celebrate TJC’s own Yasillette Gandarilla, who was recognized as one of this year’s award recipients!

Each year, one young man and one young woman are selected from participating Smith County schools based on outstanding character and leadership.

Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees who represent the very best of East Texas!

Every August, employees of Tyler Junior College come together to invest in student success through the Employee Campaign, supporting campus programs and the Employee Campaign Scholarship.

Because of their generosity, 22 students received scholarships this year and recently had the opportunity to meet the very people who made it possible.

Thank you to our incredible TJC faculty and staff who choose to give back to the place they call home. Your generosity is making a lasting difference in the lives of our students.

Their stories are powerful reminders of why this work is so important. Thoughtful stewardship and generous support help ensure students at Tyler Junior College have the resources they need to succeed. 🖤💛
