Year in Review
TSTC in Fort Bend County
As safety protocols during COVID-19 shuttered businesses and
canceled events, the Fort Bend County community continued
to give back to TSTC. It was a critical moment of support.
Donations helped fund equipment and tuition scholarships
to help keep TSTC students in school and training for highpaying
careers. Gifts of equipment advanced the hands-on
experience in the classroom, ensuring that future graduates
will be valuable assets to the Texas economy.
“The key for a bright economic future is the same as it has
always been: great-paying jobs for all Texans,” said TSTC’s
Fort Bend County provost Randy Wooten. “That’s what your
contributions provide: more great jobs in your area. Texas
economist Ray Perryman estimates that our region benefits
from between $800 million and $1 billion per year for every
1,000 TSTC graduates sent into the local workforce.”
Giving to the college provides a wonderful opportunity not
only to benefit an individual TSTC student, but also to see a
return on that investment in the state’s economy in the form of
a skilled worker in a technical career. “I can’t think of a better
place to invest in the future of Texas than TSTC,” Wooten said.
Powell Electrical Systems Inc. granted in-kind equipment
valued at $105,150 that included circuit breakers, instrument
panels, a power transformer and other components. Eaton
Corp.’s Electrical Engineering Services and Systems division
also made an in-kind donation of circuit breaker trip units
totaling $69,600 in value.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo donated $25,500
for scholarships, notwithstanding the 2020–2021 event
cancellations during the pandemic.
“Texas State Technical College is a premier vocational institute,
and we are proud to partner with them in this endeavor,” said
Amy Moroney, senior director of Educational Programs through
the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Fluor Corp., a global engineering and construction company,
provided $10,000 in scholarship monies to TSTC this past
year. This was the second time that Fluor had donated to the
college.
“This area is very generous, very philanthropic,” said John
Kennedy, The TSTC Foundation’s senior field development
officer for the Fort Bend County campus. “They care for the
youth and people that need help getting an education and
being able to have a chance to do better than the previous
generation.”
