By Mark Meredith/TVCC Public Information
Trinity Valley Community College announces the appointment of Dr. Helen Reid, Provost of TVCC Health Science Center in Kaufman, to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Uniform Pre-Nursing Curriculum Advisory committee. The appointment was announced by THECB Commissioner Raymund Paredes.
“One of the key recommendations from the Institute of Medicine’s Future of Nursing report is that nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression with the goal of 80 percent of nurses to have their BSN by 2020,” said Reid. “Since 2011, I have been working on increasing the standardization of general education courses for our graduates continuing their education in RN to BSN programs through a Perkins Leadership grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Academic Progression in Nursing grant from the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, so it is an honor to be chosen to represent community colleges on the committee.”

TVCC choral program scheduled
By Mark Meredith/TVCC Public Information
The Trinity Valley Community College Choral Program invites the community to attend their fall concert, “A Celtic Celebration,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015 at the First Baptist Church of Athens. The concert is free and promises to be exciting and full of various songs from folk to modern pop in a Celtic style.
The Cardinal Choir will perform songs allowing the listener to connect to the exuberance of the music and sometimes the deep contemplative nature of the songs. The Chamber Choir, a smaller group, will feature some more difficult works also set in a Celtic style. Finally, the group known as Encore performs music that is jazz, pop and rock. This particular concert features new songs sung by vocal groups Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder and a song or two not affiliated with the Celtic theme. Choral director Michael Matchael describes the music as “…fun, full of passion, educational and enjoyable to listen to.”
The choirs are accompanied by Mark Reeves and Kirk Overmoe.
