Graduates Join Alumni and Friends
To Mix, Mingle & Reminisce

›

Lone Star College-Tomball welcomed its alumni with a warm recep-
tion and opportunity to mix, mingle, and reminisce with faculty and
friends and celebrate with the 2019 graduating class.

The reception was held following the
Commencement Orientation sessions
for the graduates. We held it on the
same day the grads were preparing
for their Commencement ceremony,
making it a perfect time to honor both
groups.

We have a lot of graduates
who have earned Associate de-
grees and certificates and have
gone on to do amazing things,
so we wanted to connect with
them and let them know that
LSC-Tomball is still their home!

where our team was recognized with the covet-
ed Distinguished Delegation Award that placed
the team among the top 25% of competing

While this was the twelfth year we have partici-
pated in the conference, it was the first time the

LSC-Tomball Family Summit Connects
With First-Gen Students

› Those of us in higher education know it’s never too early to start thinking about attending col-
lege. And it’s especially true for students who may be the first in their families to even consider
college. There is a lot to think about and a lot to know and without some guidance it’s easy to
just bypass college and move on. That’s why our folks in CLASS put together the first Pathway
With Purpose Family Summit, a one of a kind information session that offers middle school and
high school students and their parents a step by step, how-to guide to college.

The summit began with a free breakfast at 8:30 a.m. that kicked-off a day of concurrent ses-
sions held in English and Spanish. The presentations were divided into different tracks for
middle, high school and current college students and addressed three specific areas.

The first, Getting Prepared, explained the important early steps students and families need to
take during high school, leading up to graduation. For example, recommendations on high
school course selection, information on dual credit courses, and how to enroll in college.

The second presentation, Paying for College, advised on ways to save for college and how to
apply for financial aid.

The third topic, Navigating College, provided information on the support and assistance that’s
available on matters like counseling, tutoring, college activities and organizations.

Representatives from LSC-Tomball’s various departments and organizations wer on hand during
and after the presentations to answer questions, address concerns and provide details tailored
to a student’s specific needs.

Additionally, we provided information about “transfer friendly institutions.” Those colleges we
have agreements with that make it easier for students to transfer to four year institutions. Near-
by colleges with transfer agreements include Sam Houston State University and U of H Down-
town, however there are many others across the state of Texas.

8 The Family Summit is being held in partnership with LSC-Tomball’s Academic Initiatives and
Partnerships (AIP) department. AIP coordinates programs that targets high school students like

Early College High Schools, Dual Credit and Home School programs, Pathways, Grit initiatives,

Community U, Summer Bridge, The LSC-T Experience, and more.

LSC-Tomball
Educating the Next

Generation of
Healthcare

Professionals

Science and healthcare classes will never be the ›
same at Lone Star College-Tomball. The college,
which continues to be at the forefront of educating
a new generation of healthcare workers, has revolu-
tionized the way our students learn anatomy. Now,
when students enter the science lab, they experience,
and interact with, a full size 3-D digital carbon copy
of a complete human body.
Students can see what they would never see in a
textbook. They can rotate the image, zoom in on or-
gans, muscle groups and bones and get a real sense
of the actual size and how all the parts connect with
each other.

The Anatomage Table is a leading-edge table-top
virtual dissection system. It is the most technologically
advanced anatomy visualization system developed
for use in the classroom, featuring an intuitive hands-
on interface that allows students and educators to
quickly explore and examine all aspects of the human
body. It incorporates multiple, high definition touch-
screen monitors that serve to simulate an operating
room table. Instead of a scalpel, fingers touching the
screens can manipulate the images just like using a
cell phone or tablet.

[Continued on next page]
11

› The table is a powerful teaching
tool and an unparalleled learning
aid for students. It allows for ex-
ploration of the human anatomy.
The Anatomage Table will also
become part of the Veterinary Tech-
nology Department’s educational
program.

The image library has scans of hundreds
of various species and segmented ca-
davers giving students the capability of
comparing the different anatomies for
education and research.
Lone Star College-Tomball is well-known
for providing a quality education to
prepare competent, caring, and ethical
students for the healthcare professions.
