Trinity Valley Community College (TVCC) is proud to partner with the University of Texas at Tyler’s (UT Tyler) Ben and Maytee Fisch College of Pharmacy to help train more local pharmacists.
On Thursday, Sept. 5, TVCC President Dr. Jason Morrison attended the signing event hosted by UT Tyler, where the Early Assurance Program was announced, marking a significant step forward for TVCC students.
“The partnership with UT Tyler is an excellent opportunity for TVCC students to advance their careers in pharmacy,” Morrison said. “Higher Education is about collaborations and pathways to new opportunities to advance student success.”
This partnership will help build a strong pipeline of locally trained pharmacists to serve the region. It provides TVCC students with a clear pathway to a successful career in pharmacy, offering hands-on experience, mentorship, and professional development.
“Our partnership with UT Tyler, and their College of Pharmacy, provides TVCC students with the opportunity to begin at TVCC and then have a seamless transition to UT Tyler,” Vice President of Instruction Spencer Wagley shared. “Our students can prepare for a pharmaceutical career while staying close to their communities and help those communities fill those local pharmacy vacancies. We are grateful that our students have been given this opportunity and appreciate the relationship we have with UT Tyler. “
