President Executes Community Dream When Dr. Joe Fiushing arrived in Fort Worth in September of 1965, Tarrant County Junior College consisted of seven trustees and a community dream. By September, 1967, the new president had fashioned the dream into an eleven and a half million-dollar reality with 23 buildings on a 158-acre site. As the doors opened on the South Cam- pus, construction began on the Northeast Campus and plans for a third college campus -scheduled to open in the early 197O's-- were sent to the drawing boards. In a single day, Dr. Flushing may don a steel helmet to inspect a construction pro- ject, change to conservative attire for a meet- ing with bankers or legislators, slip into academic regalia to represent TCJC at a convocation, and conclude his day dressed in a tuxedo for a formal speaking engage- ment. Few college presidents ever build a com- plete campus, yet in a decade, Dr. Flushing will have built four, including Broward County in Florida where he worked before coming to Tarrant County. l-le conducts college business from his main office downtown, a small office on the South Campus, and a brief case that can be filled with material for work in Washington or Austin. He requires few notes for his numer- ous speaking engagements since he has worked closely with every facet of the college development. Although classified as a young president, he has twenty years' experience as an edu- cational administrator. He serves the school as public speaker, financial advisor, building supervisor, and academic consultant. B . R U S H IN G Dr. Joe B.
