That is why we host events such as these so that we can provide students a welcoming environment that gives them a sense of belonging at the college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both events gave students the opportunity to get to know Dr. Rodr\u00edguez and provide them an avenue for dialogue where they can express their expectations, hopes, and concerns about the college with the TSC president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt very privileged to get to know the president,\u201d said Juan Lucio, a cadet in the TSC Police Academy. \u201cIt gives us the opportunity to have a better perspective of everything and get acquainted with the people who run the college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The events saw students coming together to meet TSC President Rodr\u00edguez, as well as other upper administration, faculty and staff throughout the college who strive to help students succeed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Rodr\u00edguez is a really good advocate for students,\u201d said Maria Del Carmen Reyes, an Associate Degree Nursing major in the newly opened ADN program. \u201cHe wants us to be successful, not just for ourselves, but for the whole community to grow. It makes the students feel like they are heard and more than just a number. We are individuals, each of us has a story, and when the administration gets to hear us, they can really go out and advocate for student success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"float: right; width: 300px; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 80%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/News\/TSC Respiratory Students w2.jpg\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"TSC President Jes\u00fas Roberto Rodr\u00edguez (center) with Respiratory Care program students and Respiratory Care Instructor Alberto Vasquez during Breakfast with the President at the college\u2019s ITEC Center Sept. 25, 2019.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>TSC President Jes\u00fas Roberto Rodr\u00edguez (center) with Respiratory Care program students and Respiratory Care Instructor Alberto Vasquez during Breakfast with the President at the college\u2019s ITEC Center Sept. 25, 2019.<\/div>\n<p>A key objective for Texas Southmost College is ensuring students establish a connection with not only faculty and staff, but with administration at all levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>TSC President connects with students at breakfast and lunch events - News and Events<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tsc.edu\/news-and-events\/2019\/09\/26\/tsc-president-connects-with-students-at-breakfast-and-lunch-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"TSC President connects with students at breakfast and lunch events\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"TSC President Jes\u00fas Roberto Rodr\u00edguez (center) with Respiratory Care program students and Respiratory Care Instructor Alberto Vasquez during Breakfast with the President at the college\u2019s ITEC Center Sept. 25, 2019.
