Honor Recognizes Educator’s Dedicated Commitment to Position TCC as National Leader in Aviation Education
FORT WORTH, Texas (May 23, 2016)
WHAT:
In recognition of the late chancellor’s 47 years of committed service, the Tarrant County College Board of Trustees unanimously voted, as a hallmark of her legacy, to rename the aviation center at Alliance Airport to the Erma C. Johnson Hadley Northwest Campus Center of Excellence for Aviation, Logistics and Transportation.
The 163,500-square-foot aviation center allowed TCC two years ago to bring its aviation programs under one roof along with the Logistics and Supply Chain Management Program, which includes warehouse and transportation management classes. TCC’s aviation programs include Avionics Technology, Airframe Maintenance, Advanced Composite Technology and Professional Pilot Training.
With the graduation of the first class of 17 pilots last week, the College’s aviation program, the only institution of higher education in North Texas with professional pilot training, already is hosting information sessions for prospective students in time for fall 2016 enrollment. The program is offered in partnership with US Aviation Group and gives students a cost-competitive pathway to their career.
