The Joe C. Thompson Conference Center (TCC) is named for the late Joe C. Thompson of Dallas, an alumnus of the university who, at the time of his death in 1961, was Chairman of the Southland Corporation and a member of the University of Texas System Board of Regents. The Thompson Conference Center has served as an academic link between the university and the community since 1970. As the focal point of The University of Texas at Austin’s continuing education efforts, the Center’s mission is to provide excellent conference facilities, services and programs for people to continue their educational development and personal enrichment.
