TCC Named Top Producer of U.S. Fulbright Scholars for 2023-24

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs recognized Tacoma Community College for being one of the colleges and universities with the highest number of faculty and administrators selected for the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program. Fulbright Top Producing Institutions like Tacoma Community College value global connection and support members of their campus communities to pursue international opportunities. See the list of top-producing institutions. 

One scholar from TCC was selected for a Fulbright award for academic year 2023-24. TCC Communications Professor LaToya Reid is currently a Roving Scholar in Norway.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's flagship international academic exchange program. Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided over 400,000 talented and accomplished students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals of all backgrounds with the opportunity to study, teach, and conduct research abroad. Fulbrighters exchange ideas, build people-to-people connections, and work to address complex global challenges.

“We are excited that Professor Reid has this opportunity to share her exceptional teaching skills with a new group of students and teachers, and we hope she enjoys this extraordinary opportunity to the full,” TCC President Dr. Ivan Harrell said.

Other TCC Professors to participate in the Fulbright Program are Business Professor Len Heritage (2012) and Earth Sciences Professor Ralph Hitz (2004).

“Fulbright’s Top Producing Institutions represent the diversity of America’s higher education community. Dedicated administrators support students and scholars at these institutions to fulfill their potential and rise to address tomorrow’s global challenges. We congratulate them, and all the Fulbrighters who are making an impact the world over,” said Lee Satterfield, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs.
