WHAT:
Tarrant County College District and The University of Texas at Arlington will announce an innovative and collaborative partnership designed to increase the number of North Texans with a college degree during a Memorandum of Understanding signing event.
The Early Transfer Identification Program, or E-TIP, enables the two institutions to identify prospective transfer students early in their academic careers, guide each student along a clear pathway to a college degree and help students achieve their degrees at a price they can afford.
E-TIP is a critical component of Tarrant County’s response to the state’s 60x30TX plan, which calls for at least 60 percent of Texans ages 25 to 34 having a college degree or a certificate by 2030. Currently, about 38.5 percent of young Texans hold a degree or certificate.
WHO:
UTA President Vistasp M. Karbhari and TCCD Acting Chancellor Angela Robinson will be joined by Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley; Tarrant County Commissioner Andy Nguyen; Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Erik Wilson; TCC Trinity River Campus President S. Sean Madison; and Joy Gates Black, TCCD Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Student Success.
WHEN:
Friday, May 6, 2016
9 a.m.
WHERE:
TCC Trinity River Campus Rotunda, 300 Trinity Campus Circle, Fort Worth.
Parking is available in the TCC garage. Enter from West Belknap Street at Cherry Street.
