TCC hires students to organize and host on- and off-campus events, run student government and campus clubs, produce student-focused news, and host leadership and growth opportunities. Through their experience as part of the Office of Student Engagement, students build their on-the-job skills, create lifelong relationships and memories, and enrich TCC and their classmates. Get involved, stay in school Our colleges exist to teach students the skills they need to succeed in the workplace and in their lives. Strong academics serve our students well, but that’s just part of the college experience. We know students who get involved in campus activities are more likely to stay engaged in their education. Strong student life — like that provided by Tacoma Community College’s Office of Student Engagement — means students are more likely to get better grades, complete their programs, earn a certificate or degree, and go on to continue their education or move into a sustainable job. Diverse communities means diverse experiences Washington’s 34 community and technical colleges strive to maximize student potential. Students of all ages, races and backgrounds come to our colleges because they’re affordable and accessible. We value our students’ perspectives and outlooks — they enhance the lives of one another, our faculty and staff, and our college communities. We recognize that to transform the lives of our 363,000 students, our colleges must create a culture of belonging that advances racial, social and economic justice. Programs like Tacoma Community College’s Office of Student Engagement help create that culture every day. The result is better jobs for students, brighter futures for them and their families, and a stronger Washington for us all.
