Update from the President
by Dr. Shanna L. Jackson
Greetings,
March is the beginning of Spring and as American writer, Laura Ingalls Wilder once said, “some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat.” Our future looks much brighter than it did a year ago this month and for that I am grateful. I encourage each of you to take time for self-care and enjoy the warm weather upon us.
I want to thank the Staff and Administrative Assembly Chairs for hosting the Spring collegewide meeting on March 19. For those unable to attend, please visit this link for the replay. Our speaker Dr. Bryant gave voice to the physical and emotional toll of the last year. It was a very informative and engaging session that provided real tools for us to Move Forward. Below are a few updates from the Office of the President.
Responsible Return to Campus – As you know, we have safely had staff, faculty, students and classes on campus both Fall and Spring. Nicole Hubbs and the Task Force are doing a great job of researching, monitoring, planning and implementing safety protocols. While the pandemic is not over, we are on the right track in Middle Tennessee with cases and vaccinations, to beginning planning for the next phases. This includes preparing for on-ground courses and services for students this Fall.
Safety remains our priority, but we can and will move in phases when it is appropriate to do so. We are preparing to shift to phase III after the Spring term ends and start Phase IV before the Fall term begins. The details concerning the plan will be sent through Campus Announcements. I want to remind everyone that August is five months away. If it is not safe to return as planned, we will make the appropriate adjustments.
COVID Relief Funds – There have been three separate Federal funding packages released since the pandemic began. Nashville State has been allocated funding in each package. However, there are specific guidelines we must follow. For example, we cannot use the funds to market or promote the college. Significant investments have been made in technology support for students, online and virtual course development and other areas that impact online operations.
The Vice Presidents have been soliciting through their department’s needs and suggestions for using these funds. However, I also wanted to provide an opportunity for all employees to share their ideas and suggestions directly to my attention. Please use this link to submit your ideas.
Commencement – Our 57th Commencement will take place virtually on May 11at 6pm. Governor Bill Lee has agreed to serve as our speaker. Special thanks to Evelyn Hadley and the committee for the dedication to make this a special ceremony for our students.
While March is the start of Spring, it is also the month that TBR confirmed my appointment as President of Nashville State in 2018. At the end of May, I will celebrate three years at Nashville State. I am thankful each day for the opportunity to serve and work with each of you. We have important work yet to do. Together, we can be the difference makers for our students, their families, and our communities. Together, we are Nashville State strong!
Nashville State Community College Announces New Vice President for Business and Finance
by Tom Hayden, Associate Vice President, Office of Communications and Marketing
After a national competitive search, Nashville State Community College appointed and announced Jennifer Rector as its new vice president of finance and accounting. She started March 1, 2021.
Rector will serve as the chief financial officer for the college and provide college-wide leadership as a member of senior staff and the president’s cabinet. She most recently served as associate vice president of finance and accounting at Nashville State.
“It was important to find a candidate with a strong accounting background and a commitment to the mission of Nashville State. We are excited about Jennifer stepping into a larger role and providing leadership for key administrative functions of the College,”
Dr. Shanna Jackson, President
The Vice President of Business and Finance is responsible for facilities management, technology services, security and safety, and all financial operations. All division priorities will fit into the strategic plan that the College is currently developing.
“There are exciting changes happening at Nashville State, I am excited to work on new and innovative approaches to serve our students and provide support to faculty and staff.”
Jennifer Rector
Prior to coming to Nashville State, Rector worked at Community Health Systems’ wholly owned subsidiary Eligibility Screening Services, where she was responsible for all accounting and budgeting activities. She served as the chief financial officer for North America at SITEL and held leadership positions at NORTEL.
A Certified Public Accountant in Tennessee, Rector holds a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from Belmont University.
Governor Lee to Deliver NSCC’s Virtual Commencement Address
by Tom Hayden, Associate Vice President, Office of Communications and Marketing
Governor Bill Lee will give the virtual commencement address to the 2021 graduates of Nashville State Community College. Nashville State’s commencement ceremony will take place on Tuesday, May 11, at 6:00 p.m. Bill Lee is the 50th Governor of Tennessee.
“We are excited that Governor Lee will address our exceptional graduates during a ceremony that will also celebrate Nashville State’s 50th Anniversary,”
Dr. Shanna L. Jackson, President
Prior to being elected governor, he was the president of Lee Company. Governor Lee’s priorities include good jobs, a strong education system, and safe neighborhoods.
As governor, Lee has championed the GIVE Act which strengthens career and technical training. This support allowed Nashville State, along with its partners, to provide free hands-on Industrial Readiness Training. Program graduates entered the workforce having earned industry certifications.
Governor Lee also has a deep commitment to improve education opportunities within correctional facilities and enable incarcerated individuals to gain the skills needed for re-entry into society. Through the Tennessee Higher Education in Prison Initiative, Nashville State is now delivering the Associate of Science in Business at the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center for Women and Riverbend Maximum Security Institution. The College has been teaching credit-bearing courses at the Turney Center Industrial Complex, a medium security prison for men.
The class of 2021 includes graduates that used the tuition-free Tennessee Promise and Tennessee Reconnect programs. Also, graduating will be the first co-hort of Nashville GRAD students, along with Early College students and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. Congratulations to all of our graduates!
The Career Closet Provides Professional Clothing to Students
By Nicole Hubbs, Director, Career Services
The Career Services Office is excited to announce the opening of a new support service for students! The Career Closet opened this month for students to shop our collection of gently used professional clothing.
In the spring of 2020, we initially shared the idea of free professional clothing for students with the campus. Over the course of the last year, we prepared the space, acquired clothing racks and hangers, designed a logo and posters, and most importantly, collected the inventory of clothing through the generous donations from NSCC employees. We are proud to offer students a wide variety of sizes and styles of men’s and women’s clothing.
To access the closet, students can make a Career Services appointment with our staff. Students will be able to select one outfit per semester.
We will continue to collect donations, too. Please email careerservices@nscc.edu to coordinate a drop off.
The closet is located in the Career Services office in suite 206 of the S Building at White Bridge Road. For more information, visit the Career Closet website at www.nscc.edu/career-closet.
Faculty Senate Update
by Derek Smith, Ph.D., Professor of Mathematics, Faculty Senate Chair
With Spring Break behind us, the second half of the semester is quickly moving along! Dr. Jackson joined us at the March Senate meeting to respond to questions about CARES funding, plans for the Madison campus, and how her role has changed since Dr. Rothstein was hired as the VPAA. In addition, Dr. Jackson asked the faculty to think about the following three questions:
- What does excellence in teaching look like?
- How do you know students are learning?
- What does Dr. Jackson need to do as President to best help faculty?
A revised tenure policy proposal was presented to Senate for their review and will be voted on at the April meeting. The proposal aligns our current policy with TBR policy. One of the significant changes is that faculty holding the rank of Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor would be eligible for tenure. Our current policy requires that a faculty member hold the rank of at least an Associate Professor to qualify for tenure. The proposal also includes an appeal process which mirrors the one implemented in the recently approved promotion policy proposal.
Faculty Senate hosted a faculty meeting with Dr. Rothstein on Friday, March 19 where plans for the summer and fall were discussed. Several questions were presented and addressed during the meeting. Those that were not answered during the meeting have been forwarded to Dr. Rothstein for her review and responses are forthcoming. A video link of the meeting is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB7i-ykptsU. Dr. Rothstein has also set aside times during the week of April 12 for small group meetings with her via Zoom. If you would like to participate, you may sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050E45A4A623A13-drrothstein.
Finally, this has been a challenging year and there is a faculty member who deserves to be recognized for their efforts during this unprecedented time. The Outstanding Faculty Award nomination form will be distributed via email and due to me by Friday, April 16. Please consider nominating a colleague for this prestigious honor. Also, Faculty Senate is seeking nominations for the Chair-Elect for 2021-2022. The nominee must be tenured and available to serve a three-year term in Senate. An email from Christina Weston, our Elections Officer, was sent on March 24 with additional information. Please consider this opportunity to be an advocate on behalf of the faculty!
Staff Assembly Updates
by Drew Kovacs, Chair for Staff Assembly, 2020-2021
We are proud to recognize Chelsee Jones, Student Services Specialist III as the Staff Assembly Employee of the Month for March!
Chelsee’s nominator had this to say about her service to the college:
I have worked closely with Chelsee and I have been impressed with the customer service she provides for each student with whom she works. Chelsee has been participating in zoom sessions held for students and always provides them with important updates.
I appreciate her pro-activeness in going outside her area to other departments to obtain information on behalf of the student. Together we have been able to resolve problems to ensure students were able to enroll successfully at NSCC. Chelsee’s positivity can be felt by students and staff alike.
Thank you, Chelsee, for your service to the college. We are all happy to honor you for your continued efforts!
Nashville GRAD wins TBR SOAR 2021 Partnership Award!
by Tom Hayden, Associate Vice President, Office of Communications and Marketing
The Tennessee Board of Regents recognized the Nashville GRAD program with the Partnership Award during the March 25 SOAR 2021 Awards presentation. With the support of the Mayor’s Office, Metro Council, and community partners, Nashville GRAD aims to remove the non-academic barriers to college retention and completion. It is a program under the joint Nashville State and Metro Schools Better Together initiative.
Nashville State President Dr. Shanna L. Jackson delivered the following acceptance remarks.
Additionally, Nashville State had a finalist for Community College Faculty Member of the Year and Student of the Year!
- Faculty Member of the Year Finalist
- Donna Whitehouse, Associate Professor, Occupational Therapy Assistant Program
- Student of the Year Finalist
- Zachery Galloway, Mechanical Engineering, Associate of Science Degree
Multitasking
by Devora Manier, Assistant Professor, ESL
Multitasking isn’t a skill. It’s a bad habit; one we’re often pressured to engage in in this culture. All the research shows it has negative effects on us, from increasing our stress to making us less productive, and possibly even to negative effects on our brain health.
With that in mind I offer up:
A Prayer for Mindful Work
Let me decide now to uni-task, as multitasking drains my energy and reduces my productivity. Let me prioritize my goals weekly, day-by-day. Let me concentrate on one major task at a time. Let me be fully present in the moment. Let me be unavailable. And let me know when to let it go.
Students Learn About Career Options With YouScience
by Nicole Hubbs, Director, Career Service
Nashville State has been using a new career assessment tool called YouScience. Students enrolled in NSCC 1010 complete this interest and aptitude test as part of their class, but any student who would like to learn more about career options may take the assessment. Admissions can administer the test to prospective students, while Career Services and the Student Success Advisors administer the test to continuing students and new students, respectively.
The assessment measures aptitude (or skill) and interest to show students careers in which they may excel based on their test results, not just careers they are interested in. YouScience goes beyond other assessments by providing aptitude results because students don’t often think about careers they may excel in, only those in which they are interested. Exposure to varying careers gives students more options.
In NSCC 1010, students complete the assessment to learn more about their majors and how they connect to degree options based on their career goals. As part of the Academic Plan assignment in the course, YouScience allows students to gain more confidence in completing this assignment and planning for their future. YouScience also provides educational investment information for all careers, which in turn tells students how much time they can expect to spend in school if they are working toward a specific career. Students in NSCC 1010 are also asked to reflect on their personal career goals, and they are instructed to use their YouScience results to respond.
The results from YouScience are robust and give students a wealth of information to use as they learn about themselves. The results include Personal Approach, which tells the students how they “most naturally approach projects in and outside of work”; Core Drivers, which tell how “effective and satisfied” students will be “doing this particular work”; and Amplifiers that support aptitudes and boost performance (“YouScience Aptitudes Results”, 2021). The Best Fit Careers are broken down into Strong, Good, and Fair fits, matching the students’ results with the skills needed for the job. It’s important to note that YouScience doesn’t tell students not to pursue a career. Instead, it provides a full snapshot of information on the career to allow students to decide for themselves which options best suit their personalities and academic goals.
YouScience combines the personality information of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and Holland Career Code to provide thorough results to students who are trying to choose the best career path. Please refer your students and advisees to Career Services by emailing careerservices@nscc.edu if you think they could benefit from this assessment.
Student Campus Cupboard Opens on Humphreys County Campus
by Tom Hayden, Associate Vice President, Office of Communications and Marketing
Students can now access free food and personal care items at the Nashville State Humphreys County Campus Cupboard.
“A Campus Cupboard has been a dream for the Humphreys County campus for many years, and I’m excited to see this dream become reality. The Campus Cupboard will meet a need for our students so they can be successful and not worry about where they will get food and basic personal care items. Providing these resources for our students is an extremely rewarding feeling.”
Kim Zills, Campus Director
The Campus Cupboard, the College’s on-campus food pantry, allows students to access free grocery and personal care items on a weekly basis, as needed. Students can login to the online ordering system to do their shopping and schedule an appointment to collect their items. The Humphreys County Campus Cupboard is open for order pick-up Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Beginning Tuesday, March 16, and every Wednesday after, fresh produce will also be available. Online ordering for produce is not available. Students should contact Ms. Bernice Knight, Nashville State Humphreys County Campus Cupboard coordinator, to arrange.
“One of our greatest joys in life is helping our neighbors and community residents. That is how we feel about opening the Campus Cupboard in Humphreys County. A wise person once said, ‘What we do for ourselves alone dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.’”
Bernice Knight, Campus Cupboard Coordinator for Humphreys County Campus
The Campus Cupboard program is operated by the Nashville State Community College Foundation, with seed investments from Piedmont Natural Gas and Kroger and through a partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Recently, a Tennessee Community CARES grant allowed the Campus Cupboard to integrate an online ordering system with curbside pickup to continue meeting the needs of food insecure students during COVID.
To learn how to support the Campus Cupboard program and other student support resources at Nashville State, please visit nsccf.org/donate/, or email foundation@nscc.edu.
The Campus Cupboard is closed between semesters and during breaks, and students will need to bring their Nashville State Student ID when picking up their order.
For more information on the Campus Cupboard program and for students to place an online order, please visit www.nsccf.org/campus-cupboard/
“We’re grateful for the partnerships and support that allowed us to expand this resource to students at the Humphreys County campus. The Cupboard is one of several resources we developed to address the most significant challenges our students struggle with while attending classes. Nashville State Foundation also created a ‘Beyond Financial Aid’ initiative providing child care, nutrition, textbook, transportation, and unexpected emergency assistance. These resources would not be possible without the generous support of individuals and community partners.”
Lauren Bell, Executive Director, Nashville State Foundation

Recycling Program – Submitted by Chris Saunders
Mark Morey, who manages our cardboard and metals recycling programs and Bill Houston, who manages the LED Lighting Project, were able to Recycle the following:
“This is an estimate on the weight of cardboard the lighting project generated, (cardboard that did not go to the landfill ). The K – Building – 23 buggies at 45 pounds = 1,035. A – Building – 20 buggies at 45 pounds = 900. C – Building – 20 buggies at 45 pounds = 900. Total weight of the project = 2,835 lbs. This is a very conservative estimate of the weight but even at that, NSCC did a fantastic job, everyone helped. Its great start to 2021 for wanting to keep this out of our waste only dumpsters.”
Nursing students prepared Blessing Bags for the homeless. – Submitted by Evelyn Hadley
Nashville State Visual Communications Students Win ADDY Awards Again!
by Beth Gorham, Associate Professor and Visual Communications Program Coordinator
Like so many events this past year, the 2021 Student ADDY awards ceremony that took place in February was a virtual one. While the mode of delivery changed, what did not change was the high level of skill and creativity displayed in the winning pieces. For those of you reading about the ADDYs for the first time, it is an annual competition sponsored by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) whose mission is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising.
The AAF has local chapters all over the country, and Nashville is home to a very strong, very high caliber chapter with members coming from various design firms and agencies across the city. Every year, the competition, known as the ADDYs, brings in outstanding entries in various fields of advertising—typography and illustration, photography and multimedia, to name a few. There is a professional ADDY competition and one for college students. Nashville State has competed in the student ADDYs regularly for the last 4 years, and sporadically for years before that. Students in the Visual Communications program compete with students from Nossi College of Art, M.T.S.U., Watkins College of Art at Belmont, and Austin Peay. The Nashville student ADDY competition is one of the most competitive in the nation, with hundreds of entries from the participating schools. Students can be awarded a Gold or Silver for their work. A Gold ADDY is recognition of the highest level of creative excellence and is judged to be superior, and the Silver ADDY is awarded to entries that are considered outstanding and worthy of recognition.
This year, NSCC came home with seven awards given to four different Visual Communications students. Erica Avi Hart (AAS Photography) won a silver for her color photograph, Nikki. Landon Edwards (AAS Graphic Design ‘20) won a silver for his book jacket design for Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Christy Link (continuing education Photography and Graphic Design) won a gold for her book jacket design for Jane Austen’s Emma. And last, but certainly not least, Brandon Hopkins (AAS Photography ‘20) won a Gold for his black & white photograph Black Revolutionary and a Gold for his Campaign (a series of three black & white photographs), Black Revolutionary, Black Panther. For this campaign, Brandon was also awarded a Judge’s Choice Award and the Mosaic Award.
Each year the AAF asks four or five working creative professionals to judge the student competition. Judges range from designers to creative directors to photographers and photo editors, and each uses their professional experience and creative prowess to evaluate the work without knowledge of the students’ name or school. Each judge picks one entry out of the hundreds that to them, exemplifies what the ADDYs stand for—creative excellence. Photographer Abigail Bobo, one of the judges this year, and herself a graduate of the Visual Communications program, chose Brandon’s Black Revolutionary, Black Panther campaign for her award. During the awards ceremony Abigail explained her choice and commended Brandon for both his concept and his execution.
For this same campaign of photographs, Brandon was awarded the Mosaic Award, which is voted on by all judges and is awarded to the one entry (again, out of hundreds) that exemplifies a spirit of diversity and inclusion and demonstrates understanding and sensitivity of targeted multicultural audiences. Brandon created this series as a way to celebrate Black History month and to present in a positive light, conceptual portraits that included important facts about the Black Panther party. All four judges praised him for his work on this series and his ability—with attention to detail, lighting, and posing—to tell the story of an often misrepresented group.
As faculty, we are proud of all the work that we submit for the ADDYs, and of course, proud of the winners and the effort they have put in to their craft. But Brandon’s winning the Mosaic Award has struck me as a very symbolic achievement. Not just symbolic for his concept and execution, but symbolic of the Visual Communications program, and really the college as a whole. We, the program and the school, are diverse. We are inclusive. And part of what makes us such an outstanding place to learn is that beautiful combination, that mosaic. Since I joined the faculty in 2001, one of my favorite aspects of teaching here has been the diversity in the classroom. Speaking for Visual Communications, we are an open enrollment program which means anyone can sign on to be a Graphic Design or Photography or Multimedia major. All are welcome. Students young and old, from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds sit across from each other, share lab and studio space, and learn from each other. Sure, they learn from me, but I love to see them learn from each other. Older, continuing education students set an example for life-long learning, and bring histories with them that inform the younger students. The younger students, in turn, bring fresh ideas, energy and enthusiasm that is often contagious. This diversity, this inclusion, this mosaic, is at the core of Nashville State.
Our four outstanding Visual Communications students are a testament to this mosaic. Ranging in ages from 20-50, they all came to NSCC from different places, different phases in their lives to discover their creative ability. One came straight out of being homeschooled, with no real intentions of attending college—and now, after success in the Visual Communications program is planning to attend a 4-year art school in the fall. One came after completing a bachelor’s degree in Marketing, looking to add some photography skills to his marketing background. Another came after eight years working in veterinary medicine wanting to pursue her high school passion of photography. And still another came to NSCC after earning two degrees and raising children to further her skills for a new hobby in photography. Her classes in photography led to classes in graphic design which led her to award winning creative excellence. I know I am not alone with these stories from my classroom, that we all share this spirit of inclusion and diversity. It is indeed something to foster and to celebrate. Please join me in congratulating these students and celebrating the mosaic that is Nashville State.

Spring Forward With Early Advising
by Jessica Rabb, Ph.D., Professor of Biology
Flowers are a sign of spring, but so are summer and fall registration at Nashville State. I have enjoyed working with Kim Silverman, Christina Shaffer, Emily Bush, Online Learning and the Teaching Center to help advisors reach and encourage their advisees to make connections this spring and transition to summer and fall.
It’s not easy maintaining connections at a distance. Yet there are a couple of things we are trying this semester that may help, and I’ll fill you in.
First, there is a news item in the NS Online homepage for students that gives students a link that:
- alerts students to the drawing of five $50 gift cards for students that meet with their advisor (Thank you Foundation!)
- a student advising guide
- and my email address
Any faculty or staff member that helps a student register for summer or fall is welcome to complete a virtual advising ticket for a student.
Virtual Advising Ticket (Maintained by Christina Shaffer and Jessica Rabb) https://forms.gle/hE6oKqt3zj53banC7
The student advising guide may help students find their Advisor, Advising Sheet, and access Degree Works.
Student Advising Guide (Maintained by Jessica Rabb and Emily Bush) https://nscc.libguides.com/springforward
The student advising guide includes a chat function that I operate, but I could use some help if you are interested. I am directing this request primarily at faculty, if you are a faculty member interested in advising more. There may be some of you out there…
I include my email so that students have a person to contact when they are unsure of who to ask. I am getting 4-8 questions a day just before registration starts.
I have never had a student ask me a question that has a first-year advisor. They either have a faculty advisor or no advisor. (I am trying to connect the students to the faculty or have a faculty advisor assigned.) That is a wonderful indication that our first- year success advisors are making an impact.
Second, there is information available to advisors to help them connect and inform their advisees. Don’t forget that we have an online Advising Manual.
Advising Manual (Maintained by Mary Elizabeth Wilson-Patton) http://ww2.nscc.edu/advising/
Working with Emily Bush, I created a guide to help faculty to connect to their advisees via scheduling apps and email.
Advising Tech Tips (Maintained by Jessica Rabb and Emily Bush) https://nscc.libguides.com/advising
It’s been a long year, the spring is a welcome change, and I hope these tools will help revive the end of your semester just a little.
Nashville State Students Ride Free!
by Tom Hayden, Associate Vice President, Office of Communications and Marketing
Nashville State Community College – Clarksville Campus, in partnership with the Clarksville Transit System, is now offering free transportation assistance for students.
The Transportation Assistance Program provides semester-long bus passes at no cost to Nashville State Clarksville students. Bus passes are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
“While classes might be virtual, students still need access to transportation for work, appointments, and other tasks. By offering this program, we are providing more opportunities to our students that may not have consistent transportation.”
Jessica Luna, Student Services Specialist II for the Clarksville Campus
Nashville State has been delivering quality education to the city of Clarksville and Montgomery County since 2012. The campus has approximately 950 students currently enrolled.
“We’re happy to help Nashville State with this program. Transportation to and from classes should not be an additional barrier that these students face when trying to receive an education.”
CTS Director Paul Nelson
“We’re grateful for the partnership with the Clarksville Transit System that allowed us to expand this resource to students at the Clarksville campus. This transportation program is one of several resources we developed to address the most significant challenges our students struggle with while attending classes. Our ‘Beyond Financial Aid’ initiative provides child care, nutrition, textbook, transportation, and unexpected emergency assistance. These resources would not be possible without the generous support of individuals and community partners.”
Lauren Bell, Nashville State Foundation Executive Director
