TTC Employees Give So Much More

"You have no idea how unreal it feels to wake up knowing that just one more person believes in you." 

-Olivia, TTC Scholarship Recipient

TTC faculty and staff are committed to helping students achieve their goals and improve their lives, and through their participation in the 2018-19 CampusCampaign, So Much More, they demonstrated that commitment. Eighty-three percent of full-time employees contributed more than $72,000 for TTC Foundation programs like Scholarships, Minigrants and the Student Emergency Fund.

This is no surprise, as faculty and staff have a long history of giving back to students, raising $1.4 Million since 1980. They give back because working at TTC is more than just a job to them. Through their donations, they are sending the message that they believe in students and are rooting for them to succeed. They understand that, to students, it’s about so much more than the financial support. Just knowing that they are surrounded by a community that supports them gives them confidence and motivates them to succeed. Half of TTC students are first-generation college students, so for some, the TTC family may be the only support system they have ever had.

For TTC employees, it is so much more than a job and for students, it is so much more than a donation.
