We had the pleasure of attending the 2026 San Jacinto College State of the College on Friday, November 6!
Dr. Hellyer did not disappoint as she shared exciting highlights about the college’s partnership with the Texas Medical Center (TMC), which provides students with hands-on training in biomanufacturing. This training allows students to work in research labs and find jobs after graduation.
It was incredible to hear that the Promise Program is fully funded! This is truly an investment in our students and their futures by removing financial barriers and making higher education possible.
Congratulations and thank you to Chancellor Dr. Brenda Hellyer, the Board, faculty, staff, volunteers, and everyone who continues to make San Jacinto College a nationally recognized leader in higher education.
We are so fortunate to have San Jacinto College serving our community, preparing tomorrow’s workforce, and creating opportunities for generations to come!
