History of the College

TCC opened in 1966 to serve the post-high school educational needs of students from a district comprised of Gadsden, Leon, and Wakulla counties. Although many of our students still come from this district, the College enrolls students from throughout Florida, across the country, and even the world. TCC has grown from an initial enrollment of 698 students in Fall 1966 to around 17,000 students annually.

1966-1975

An article published on September 13, 1966, in The Tampa Tribune, proclaimed, “New Tallahassee JC a success before it opens.” A few days later, at Godby High School and across town at Rickards High School, Tallahassee Junior College welcomed nearly 700 students in its first year under the leadership of Fred W. Turner, the College’s first president. Three new buildings were ready for occupancy on Appleyard Drive in time for the second year of operation. In 1968, the Legislature established the District Board of Trustees as the governing authority for the College; Tallahassee businessman Earl Lambert served three terms as the first board chairman. Tallahassee Junior College became Tallahassee Community College (TCC) in 1970 and one- and two-year occupational programs, including nursing, were added to the curriculum. The 1,000th person graduated. Dental hygiene was added and College enrollment approached 3,000.

1976-1985

During the second decade, enrollment steadily grew to more than 5,000. President Fred W. Turner retired and Dr. Marm M. Harris was named TCC’s second president. An artist series began to attract community leaders to the campus, enhancing the town/gown relationship. The TCC Foundation was established and the Lifetime Sports Complex opened. In 1983, Dr. James H. Hinson Jr. became TCC’s third president and led the College through a period of growth in both enrollment and legislative appropriations. Also in 1983, TCC students won the Math Olympics state title, beginning a tradition of student success in academic competition. A study reported TCC had a $47.2 million positive economic impact on the community.

1986-1995

As the fastest growing community college in Florida, TCC saw its enrollment jump by nearly 1,000 students in the first term of the third decade. By the end of the decade, enrollment had doubled. In 1988, TCC was first among Florida community colleges in the proportion of faculty members holding a Ph.D. “Eyrie,” the student literary magazine, was named best in the nation, and the student newspaper won state, regional and national accolades. An athletic program was re-established with a strong base in academics. A new library and administration building were added. The campus grew from 54 acres to more than 140. President Hinson led the College through a decade that also saw extensive renovation and campus infrastructure upgrades. TCC’s softball team won the National Junior College Athletic Association slow pitch championship in 1994.

1996-2005

With its fourth president, Dr. T.K. Wetherell, at the helm, numerous new career programs were added in the fourth decade, and cooperation with universities was enhanced. 

The College’s infrastructure continued to grow by leaps and bounds. In the mid-1990s, a new Student Union was constructed, as was the Technology and Professional Programs building, while a renovated facility became the Academic Computing Center. After the turn of the century, TCC opened the History and Social Sciences building (named for President Wetherell), the Computer Technology building and the Center for Workforce Development.

The TCC Alumni Association and Eagle Athletics Hall of Fame were established as well as the Challenge Scholarship Program and many other scholarships. Florida Governor Jeb Bush was the 2000 commencement speaker. The Brain Bowl team won its first state title. TCC acquired the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy (PTLEA).

Dr. Bill Law became TCC’s fifth President in 2002 and began launching new initiatives that resulted in greater community involvement for TCC.

2006-2015

TCC celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006, highlighted by a series of community and alumni events, including the first TCC Alumni Hall of Fame ceremony, Community Day at TCC, and the 40th Anniversary Gala. That same year, TCC successfully completed its first capital campaign. The $10 million campaign included the largest private donation in the College’s history, a $2 million gift from Tallahassee’s Ghazvini family. The college also expanded its healthcare programs and placed a major emphasis on workforce development. Innovative teaching methods began to draw national recognition for faculty.

The William D. Law, Jr. Learning Commons opened in 2008, bringing all of the College’s academic support facilities together beneath one roof. In 2009, the TCC District Board of Trustees approved the creation of the Florida Public Safety Institute (FPSI) to be the umbrella entity for the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy and several other training academies housed on the site in Gadsden County. The Advanced Manufacturing Training Center (AMTC) opened on the main campus in August of 2010. 

Dr. Jim Murdaugh was appointed TCC’s sixth president on November 15, 2010. In the fall of 2011, TCC’s Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education opened near Tallahassee’s two major hospitals. In 2012, the TCC Wakulla Center moved to a larger facility in Crawfordville. In 2013, TCC opened a new Veteran’s Success Center in the Computer Technology building. The College broke ground on a new TCC Gadsden Center in late 2014 and spearheaded development of the Institute for Nonprofit Innovation and Excellence based in the TCC Capitol Center the same year. The Golden Guarantee programs that offer guaranteed transfer to Florida State University, Florida A & M University, and the University of West Florida were also launched in 2014.

2016-Present

In 2016, TCC celebrated its 50th anniversary with a year-long series of special events and activities, profiles of notable alumni, and archival of photos and other materials from throughout the history of the College. Also in 2016, TCC opened the Wakulla Environmental Institute and moved its operations in Gadsden County from the Quincy Center to the new TCC Gadsden Center. The College completed a complete redesign of its website in 2017.

In 2018, the College spearheaded ‘Eagle Relief’ efforts for those impacted by Hurricane Michael. These efforts would be later revived in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the greatest disruption in the history of education. TCC established a new comprehensive student services model, CARE, in 2019, that also helped prepare faculty and staff for the pandemic. As a result, student success rates and enrollment increased in the fall of 2020, defying national trends.

In 2021, TCC was named a top ten finalist for the Aspen Prize for Community College Advancement and was awarded the Leah Meyer Austin Award, the highest distinction given by Achieving the Dream (ATD). The College became the first college in Florida to be named an ATD Leader College of Distinction.

TCC’s Commitment

TCC welcomes recent high school graduates and adults who wish to start or continue their education at the post-secondary level. No person shall, on the basis of age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status, or other protected class, be subjected to discrimination in any of TCC’s programs and activities.

More than three-quarters (78%) of TCC students intend to transfer to a four-year college or university with an Associate of Arts (AA) degree. Many others seek one-year certificates or two-year degrees in high-demand career fields. TCC also provides noncredit courses and workforce development, professional development, and adult education programs designed to enhance the skills needed to maintain current employment or to re-train for a new occupation.

TCC faculty members devote most of their time to teaching, working with students individually, and helping them make the adjustment to college. Instructors impart knowledge to stimulate critical thinking, develop skills, and broaden and enrich student interest. Their major efforts are directed toward helping students master subject matter and reach their potential.

TCC uses a variety of educational delivery methods. Courses are taught in-person on our main campus or at one of our other seven locations, online asynchronously, online synchronously through TCC LIVE (Learning Interactively in a Virtual Environment), or in a hybrid modality. The College also offers a full schedule of evening courses, making it more convenient for nontraditional students to pursue their academic and career goals.

The College is committed to making all its programs, services, and facilities accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities in order for students to successfully transition to college and obtain maximum benefit from the educational experience.
