BC’s Strive 2 Drive initiative returns for 2022-23 academic year

Brazosport College President Dr. Vincent Solis talks about the 2022-23 Strive 2 Drive student success initiative during a kickoff event at the College’s Bonnen Central Building main entrance.

 Brazosport College’s popular Strive 2 Drive campaign is back for its fifth year.

With an announcement from BC President Dr. Vincent Solis during a kickoff event on Sept. 8, the College officially launched its 2022-23 Strive 2 Drive student success initiative.

Through the Strive 2 Drive incentive program, Brazosport College will be awarding a new Honda Civic automobile to one lucky student. To be eligible for the grand prize, students must be enrolled at Brazosport College for a minimum of six semester credit hours for both the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 terms, maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA, remain in good standing at the College and pay all outstanding debts to the College.  

During the campaign’s kickoff event, students were treated to hot dogs, drinks and other snacks, while learning more about the Strive 2 Drive initiative. A drawing for gift cards was also held during the campaign launch.

The kickoff also recognized the six sponsors that have made this year’s initiative possible. The 2022-23 Strive 2 Drive sponsors are Honda of Lake Jackson, The Dow Chemical Company – Texas Operations, Freeport LNG, BASF, TDECU and Vernor Material & Equipment.

The Strive 2 Drive program is based on participation in activities both in and out of the classroom and operates on a defined point system. Points are assigned based on the length, importance and educational value of the activities. Through this point system, students accumulating the most points each month during the Fall and Spring semesters will win prizes. The highest point earner at the end of the academic year will earn an additional prize.

Every participating student will be entered into a drawing for the grand prize, a new Honda Civic.

The Strive 2 Drive campaign began in 2018, with BC student Ashley Lundy winning the car in the inaugural event. She was followed in the Winner’s Circle by Gwyneth Sidney in 2019, Rhena Latiolais in 2020 and Jesus Ramirez in 2021.
