Hodges Welcomed Back with Engineering Scholarship

After serving an interim role as the Vice Chancellor for Academics at Houston Community College, Dr. Zachary Hodges recently returned to HCC Northwest as college president. He was welcomed back with the surprise of an engineering scholarship fund created in his name.

Hodges was instrumental in forging a partnership with The University of Texas at Tyler to launch a four-year engineering degree program at HCC's Westchase District campus. Students can earn a bachelor's degree in civil, electrical or mechanical engineering at that campus for less than $20,000.

The Dr. Zachary Hodges Engineering Scholarship Fund was created by the HCC Foundation and by Joe Synan, an American Leadership Forum classmate of Hodges and president of Leadingwell Associates.
