Empowered for Success Merges with TXCCRN
We are thrilled for the completion of this initiative and excited to bring you website highlights monthly. The digest is a resource for Texas educators to use to read about the month's biggest highlights, events, and top stories. Of course, this news digest is possible because of our regional partners in CCRS and the hard work they do to support student success.
We excitedly invite contributions from all of our regional readiness partners. Help make this resource as comprehensive as possible. If your institution has an ongoing or past initiative, deliverables from a completed initiative or event, or information on an upcoming event that supports readiness in Texas, please contact Texas CCRS Network Senior Communications Officer Amy Williams so that it can be added to the TXCCRN website.
All readiness-promoting resources are welcome! For more details, please use the following as optional guidelines for submissions:
We look forward to hearing from you!
