History
The school was founded in 1968, when a local philanthropist, Fred W. Beazley, closed the existing Frederick College and deeded the land to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the creation of Tidewater Community College. With the support of Hampton Roads' municipalities, TCC quickly expanded to Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, and in the 1990s, it helped revitalize downtown Norfolk by establishing a campus in former department store buildings. In 2010, the Portsmouth campus relocated to a new site within the city.
Edna V. Baehre-Kolovani took office as the college's fifth president in July 2012. She succeeded Deborah M. DiCroce, who had served for 14 years.
Tidewater Community College's mascot is Storm, and the school colors are royal blue and white.

Let's Grow: The 2013 Jobs Summit
Tidewater Community College hosted its first jobs summit on August 6, 2013. One of the signature events during TCC’s 45th anniversary, the event brought together local CEOs, industry leaders and the major candidates for governor of Virginia for discussion on two questions: Where will jobs come from in the next five years, and how should the workforce be prepared? Virginia’s gubernatorial candidates, Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe, used the opportunity to outline their jobs platforms for the Commonwealth.
