Each of us has the opportunity with every interaction with our students and one another to be a source of encouragement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth is a reminder of why our Vision 2030 plan includes these words: \u201cA Student Ready College.\u201d Nashville State is not just for \u201ccollege-ready\u201d students.&nbsp; We are an open access institution that will always serve students who are not academically prepared and students that face numerous barriers to completion. We have to ensure our processes and supports are designed for the students we serve.&nbsp; And we can do that by building a culture of excellence in People, Places, Programs and Partnerships and by embedding our LEADS Core Values into the fabric of our work.

This year\u2019s awardee was announced at Convocation and their accomplishments summarized. But, I\u2019d like to do so again. Please take time to congratulate Rachel if you haven\u2019t had a chance to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rachel Lewis, School of STEM, Instructor, Biology<\/strong><br>While at Nashville State, Rachel has taught BIOL 1010, BIOL 1020, BIOL 1110, BIOL 1120, BIOL 1215, BIOL 2010, BIOL 2020. Rachel is the only full-time biology faculty on the Humphreys County and Dickson campuses. Rachel has taught on-campus, online, hybrid, and virtually. Then take into consideration that like the rest of us she managed to switch to online and virtual learning in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, but in a rural area where internet access was not a guarantee. Then just as the pandemic was easing up, in fall 2021, Humphreys County was hit by a catastrophic flood that affected Rachel personally and professionally. The Humphreys County campus closed. Then Rachel started teaching at the Renaissance Center Dickson campus in spring 2022, the Nashville State lease ends and the college is homeless. Without lab space in Dickson or Humphreys County, Rachel designs a hybrid that puts virtual labs online and the lectures in-person in fall 2022. Now, the Dickson campus will be seven-week terms only in fall 2023, and Rachel is shouldering that change in teaching style for the biology department. We are so lucky to have dedicated and multi-talented faculty like Rachel serving our extended campuses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Henry_Ho-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2480 size-thumbnail\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a Culture of Excellence: People, Places, Programs, Partnerships, and Two More P&#8217;s?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>by Henry Ho, Internal Auditor, Office of the President<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Welcome to a new academic year!&nbsp; At the convocation, we all heard President Jackson talk about the 4 P&#8217;s we need to build a culture of excellence \u2013 People, Places, Programs, and Partnerships.&nbsp; I would like to introduce you to two more P&#8217;s that are also essential to the success of our college \u2013 Policies and Procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Policies and procedures are fundamental parts of internal control that help the college achieve its objectives.&nbsp; They are the control activities that help mitigate risks in the college\u2019s operations.&nbsp; For example, the college has payroll policies and procedures to ensure employees are paid in a timely and accurate manner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In each policy, you will learn the responsibility of the operating unit, the operational process\u2019s objectives and risks, and the control activities that help achieve the objectives and reduce risks.&nbsp; Each operating unit can further define policies through procedures.&nbsp; You will find in procedures more details about the process and timing of each control activity.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Nashville State employees, we are required to follow college-wide policies as well as TBR system-wide policies and both are easily accessible online.&nbsp; Each department or division also has its own policies and procedures.&nbsp; I encourage you to be familiar with the policies and procedures applicable to your work.&nbsp; Let\u2019s work together to build a culture of excellence with People, Places, Programs, Partnerships, Policies, and Procedures!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group teal-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Megan-Murray-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3443 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Megan-Murray-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Megan-Murray-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Megan-Murray-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Megan-Murray.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Workforce Minute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>by Megan Murray, Business Operations Coordinator, Workforce Development and Continuing Education<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Center for Workforce Development &amp; Continuing Education would like to introduce \u201cThe Workforce Minute\u201d where every month, our department brings you the latest news and highlights coming out of the WFD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Center for Workforce Development?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019ve heard of the Center for Workforce Development but don\u2019t know what we do.

how we have been using it to target different student populations. The main focus of the presentation was the technical parts behind the scenes, data tables and manipulations, to help other colleges build a similar product on their campuses. The Application Dashboard is accessible to all full-time Nashville State employees and can be found in the Data Access section at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nscc.edu\/ir\">www.nscc.edu\/ir<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Derrick\u2019s second presentation, \u201cDemonstration of Power Automate,\u201d demonstrated the Power Automate platform and discussed some of its potential uses.
