<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">It is with deep sadness that I share that Char Gore, TCC’s Executive Director of Strategic Initiatives passed away this weekend after a 3-year battle with pancreatic cancer.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Char served on the BLC executive for several years and was instrumental in the recent changes to the General Education requirements for BAS degrees.
</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">She was a strong advocate for students and worked tirelessly to make BAS degrees more accessible.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Those of us who had the honor and pleasure of working with Char know that she brought her energy, positivity and leadership to everything she did.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Please keep Char’s family in your thoughts.</p>
