Greetings,  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end of the Fall semester is quickly approaching.  How are you doing?  Are you counting down the days or wishing you could add more time to finish all you had planned?  For me, I never seem to have enough time.  What I like to do the most is what I get to do the least.  My ideal day would be to visit offices, visit campuses and just have time to sit and talk to students. I treasure those moments; I learn so much when I get to just listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you ever get a chance to talk to our students?  How do you think they are doing?  The last few weeks of the semester can be filled with anxiety and a sense of being overwhelmed. That moment you take to reach out and check on a student or stop a student that is passing by could make all the difference.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are a few updates for the Office of the President:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickson Campus <\/strong>– <\/strong>The news is officially out!  Nashville State is partnering with TCAT Dickson to build a new Higher Education Center in Dickson that will be our permanent home.  Nashville State received an almost 9-acre land donation from HCA Tristar that will house the new campus.  TCAT Dickson received a $35 million state allocation for construction.  We are in the early stages of design and will keep the college updated as it progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Office Appointments <\/strong>– <\/ins><\/strong>Please join me in welcoming Patsy Ham to Nashville State as my new Administrative Assistant.  Patsy comes to us from Albany State University where she worked for 15 years in the facilities and transportation office. Please stop by the President\u2019s Office to say hello. The door is always open!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
