•Happy Social Work Month to all of my fellow Social Workers! Thankful that we willingly decided to be apart of a profession that allows us to practice empathy and provide compassion to those we serve everyday. Keep shining, especially on the hardest days!• #socialworkmonth

Our Amarillo College students are smart & capable & the future of our community - they just need supports not typically offered in higher ed. I’m so proud of our team @CaraCrowley4 Jordan Herrera and colleagues across this college who love students to success every day.

Good morning! Does all this talk about #RealCollege supports pay off for students and #communitycolleges ?? That’s what we The Hope Center for Student Basic Needs have been working with Amarillo College to find out for the last couple of years…

Excited to see Amarillo College & Amarillo ISD investing in our young people. From offering some of the best technical training programs in the country, to fighting student poverty. That’s how we’re going to create & employ high-skill, high-value jobs right here in West Texas.
