Dear Fellow Community Members,

In these uncertain times, be assured that Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3) is stable and is already looking towards the future. To be clear, many difficult decisions have been made, and will continue to be made. Fortunately, the sense that "we are all in this together' is shared in every rank of student, staff, faculty and leadership of this strong community.

Moreover, the College is lucky to have the unwavering support of both Cortland County and Tompkins County. This truly is a community enterprise that redounds to the benefit of all of us in this key part of upstate New York. Together, we have acted -- and will continue to act -- prudently and decisively in meeting current challenges and in adapting to emerging expectations.

Respectfully yours,

TC3 Board of Trustees
Ray Schlather, Chair
