Hispanic Alliance for Talented Students

Tallahassee Community College has launched a new program called the Hispanic Alliance for Talented Students (H.A.T.S.) that promotes intercultural understanding and empowerment for Hispanic students. This program will accept a new cohort of students for the June Express session of the Summer semester and another cohort for the Fall semester of each year. These students will matriculate through their first semester at TCC together as they are placed in similar courses, engage in career building and goal-setting enrichment sessions, and participate in many more empowering initiatives.
As the cohort progresses to their next term, students of this program will be provided holistic support through being paired with committed mentors. In addition to being highly encouraged to join other TCC organizations that will help build and enhance their resumes.
