Dear Fellow TCC Alum:

Welcome to the Tidewater Community College Alumni Association! The Alumni Association assists the college in creating a network for communications between and among alumni, administration, faculty, and the student body of the college and members of the South Hampton Roads community. Additionally, the Alumni Association works to enhance the reputation and visibility of the college in South Hampton Roads and throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.

TCC depends on our continued support of its mission of open access, cultural diversity, lifelong learning, and innovative and productive partnerships. Our bond with Tidewater Community College, and our ongoing assistance, strengthens the community and promotes its support of current students—our future alumni.

There are many ways to get involved with the TCC Alumni Association. Choose yours:


Enjoy alumni activities, programs, and events ranging from social gatherings to networking opportunities. Keep in touch—there is something for everyone. See the lineup of events at the college and the TCCAA.

Give Back your time and talent to facilitate the success of current TCC students—our future alumni. Remember, we all have a TCC Story. Learn more about opportunities to get involved.

Tell a Friend about future events and programs, and encourage other alumni to join and get involved. Open the door for others to enjoy.

More than 100,000 former students comprise our Alumni Association—and all of us can make a difference for those who follow us at TCC. Please update your information so that the TCC Alumni Association can connect with you. Together we can help our alma mater provide many more opportunities for students to experience TCC’s promise . . .

“From here, go anywhere.”
