Happy Social Work Month! Social Workers may you never forget the value you add to the lives you serve and those who work alongside you. You do the hard work that most people don’t understand and you make it look effortless, that’s magic baby! #SocialWorkMonth #SocialWorker

Bring on outside resources if your institution cannot provide them directly so your students know they can reach out for help when they need it, says @JordanHerrera_9. #WellBeings #WellBeingsLive #CallToMindLive

Excited to see Amarillo College & Amarillo ISD investing in our young people.

From offering some of the best technical training programs in the country, to fighting student poverty.

That’s how we’re going to create & employ high-skill, high-value jobs right here in West Texas.

Good morning!

Does all this talk about #RealCollege supports pay off for students and #communitycolleges ??

That’s what we @hope4college have been working with @AmarilloCollege to find out for the last couple of years…

[russell lowery-hart @LoweryHart]

Our @AmarilloCollege students are smart & capable & the future of our community - they just need supports not typically offered in higher ed. I’m so proud of our team @CaraCrowley4 @JordanHerrera_9 and colleagues across this college who love students to success every day.

[Jordan Herrera @JordanHerrera_9]

@saragoldrickrab Yep!

[Jordan Herrera @JordanHerrera_9]

@BurtchTay @CaraCrowley4 @AmarilloCollege Thank you for the opportunity to visit with you all! I can’t wait to see what your future holds! Stay safe and well!

[Jordan Herrera @JordanHerrera_9]

@JennyAchilles @collegehubatx Awesome! Thank you!

[Jordan Herrera @JordanHerrera_9]

@JennyAchilles @collegehubatx Yes! I hadn’t thought about that but it could definitely be helpful during these times.
