Honoring the memory of beloved employee Jesus “Jesse” Garza III with Jesse’s Joy Day.

Corpus Christi, TX – Everyone knows that one person who lights up any room and brings joy to everyone they meet. At Southern Careers Institute’s (SCI) Corpus Christi campus, that person was Jesus “Jesse” Garza III. After Jesse’s passing on July 16, 2020, the community wanted to celebrate his life and restore the joy he brought to others. Thus, Jesse’s Joy Day was born. This year, his legacy lives on at the event scheduled for July 16, at the SCI Corpus Christi campus.

“As the placement coordinator for SCI’s career services department, Jesse brightened the campus with his positive attitude, hopeful spirit, caring temperament—and his love of crazy socks,” said Tammy Newsom, SCI’s Corpus Christi campus director. “He was one in a million, and would love the idea that we’re honoring him by taking the time out of our busy day to celebrate the things that bring us joy.”

Jesse’s Joy Day is a celebration of happiness with free snow cones*, crazy socks* and horseback rides.

“Once I graduated from SCI, I had a sense of accomplishment that helped me through the job search process. SCI provided me with the opportunity to brush up on my skills, extend my accounting knowledge, and they boosted my self-confidence. I went to work two days after my last day of school.”

“When my youngest child graduated from high school, I told my husband that it was my time. I went back to school to change careers after spending 37 years in the business field. At SCI, the instructors are professional, and they care about what they are teaching you, as well as expect you to give 100% in return. I had problems understanding how to draw in syringes and give injections. I requested extra help from a knowledgeable instructor, and I was able to receive one-on-one training. Today, I draw injections for approximately 100 patients each week. I am very confident in what I’ve learned. SCI has given me the chance to do what I always wanted to do. Thank you for my education. I am doing wonderful.”
