TSTC Foundation Annual Report 2020 - 2021

CENTRAL TEXAS
Year in Review
The trailblazing support of donors at TSTC’s East Williamson
County campus elevated career training options for the
community and accelerated emergency aid response for
students suffering economic hardships through the pandemic.
This unified commitment to lend a hand resulted in measurable
impacts collegewide.

The support of all who gave made for one of the most successful
years the campus has had, according to Michael Smith, vice
president of development at The TSTC Foundation.
“There was a huge need, and we really did not know what the
year was going to be like,” Smith said. “They knew there was
the need during the pandemic. They wanted to be able to help
provide jobs.”
Samsung Electronics Co., which has a facility in Austin, invited
the campus last year to take part in its yearly giving cycle.
The money given will go toward a video project between the
company, TSTC and the Manor Independent School District to
create educational videos focusing on career pathways. The
company specializes in chip manufacturing in Austin.
Germany-based EOS, which has offices in Pflugerville and
Temple, gave $25,000 to create an endowment and $5,000 for
emergency aid for TSTC students. The endowed scholarships will
specifically be for underserved minority students attending the
East Williamson County campus. The company has also pledged
to provide a professional mentor for each scholarship recipient.
EOS is a leading manufacturer of 3D printing systems for the
aerospace, automotive and medical industries.
Employer success is part of the winning formula that TSTC strives
for every day. Lissa Smith, provost at the East Williamson County
campus, explains, “Our industry partners have the opportunity to
invest in their future success by investing in our students, who
are their future employees.”
TSTC in East Williamson County also received funds from the
Gene Haas Foundation last year. A gift of $22,550 was used
for scholarships and equipment purchases for students. The
foundation has been a loyal donor to The TSTC Foundation
because of their dedication to answering the “skills gap” needs
in manufacturing.
