Help for Harlingen Employees

As you know, Hurricane Dolly left behind a substantial amount of damage at our TSTC campus in Harlingen. Along with the damage to the campus, many of the employees have been affected personally by this storm. Several have lost everything and others have suffered substantial losses.

These employees are members of the larger TSTC family and, like other times in the past, when unfortunate things happen, the larger TSTC family has extended our support in tangible ways.

________One Time gift of cash or check

Gifts of cash or check can be dropped off at the System Office of the Chancellor, or the Human Resources office at your campus. Please make checks payable to TSTC Regents Circle and in the memo field enter Horizon / Harlingen.
