At Wednesday's TSC Board of Trustees meeting, President Jesus Roberto Rodriguez, during his report to the board, presented a montage of glossy photos to illustrate all that the community college is doing.

The funky photo above was part of that presentation.

During the actual meeting, a number of questions were asked about the performance of TSC's programs with most of the questioning coming from Board Trustee Ruben Herrera with an assist from Trustee J.J. De Leon.

Herrera wants a document showing the last five years of admissions, graduations and job placement for all TSC programs.

Chair Adela Garza requested that such a report be produced by this coming Monday and President Jesus Rodriguez said that could be done, but later changed his mind, indicating such a report would be ready "by the next board meeting(two weeks)."

Brownsville's bloggers have raised several issues about TSC's welding program operating out of ITEC, the college's vocational unit on Mexico Blvd.

Trustee Herrera spoke to the the fact that 314 TSC students have graduated and been sent into the workforce in the last two years.

"That's not enough, not with the money we're spending," said Herrera.

"We need to be out there selling our programs, meeting companies that are coming in and selling them on what we can provide.  It's not about the money.  It's about serving our community," he added.
