A good time for reflection

As we step into 2026, it feels like this is a good moment to reflect on the Texas College Bridge (TCB) program: its origins, purpose, challenges, successes, and future plans. The TCB program has come to embody much of what The NROC Project (NROC) has striven to accomplish over the last twenty-plus years, and we remain optimistic that TCB can provide a model for us to achieve similar positive impacts in other parts of the country. In service to our nonprofit mission, and to our many strategic partners, we hope this retrospective can provide some insight into the journey we have taken and may spark new ideas and opportunities for the broader community that has committed itself to improving student success in college and career. Check out the full five year retrospective below.
