Student Resource and Empowerment Center

The Women’s Center at TCC is now The Student Resource & Empowerment Center (SREC). SREC is a Single Stop site that connects students with a variety of free and comprehensive social services and financial resources to help them stay focused on their academic goals.

This college-wide department includes case managers on every TCC Campus. In addition, the Center collaborates with campus and community partners to deliver educational programs and services that holistically empower students in their personal, academic and professional success.
