Update from the President<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by Dr. Shanna L. Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Greetings Fellow Falcons,  <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

October is one of my favorite months. The weather is cooler, the leaves change to beautiful colors, and I celebrate another turn around the sun. This month is also the midpoint of the semester and a critical time to check in with our students and one another. As we learned during Convocation, burnout is real, but it can be prevented. While it\u2019s easy to fall into the hustle culture mindset, guest speaker Dr. Kimberly Taylor-Simmons encouraged us to identify what our \u201cburn\u201d events are and put things in place to recover from these busy times. For a refresh on tips she shared, access the Convocation PowerPoint here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

East Davidson Open House \u2013 <\/strong>On October 24, we hosted an Open House at our East Davidson Campus to celebrate our partnership with the American Job Center and the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce. The joint Workforce Training Center brings a range of workforce services under one roof, simplifying the path for Middle Tennessee residents to employment, career advancement, and continued education. It could become a model for the state in addressing workforce needs through cross-sector collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile Classroom \u2013 <\/strong>The mobile classroom and chaser van are here!! They were featured at the Workforce Training Center Open House, and they stole the show. For those who could not attend, we have included some pictures below. This state-of-the-art mobile classroom will allow Nashville State to bring training programs, registration events and more directly to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This working style survey will show you how you individually approach problem solving and innovation and how to make the innovation process work effectively when you collaborate with others. If you have taken the Basadaur in the last year, there is no need to repeat. But if it\u2019s been more than a year, please retake it. Your results are a critical piece of data needed for future trainings that are planned across the college. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fantasy Football Season 4<\/strong> \u2013<\/strong> We are midseason and there are only two undefeated teams out of seven Divisions. Congratulations to VolsFan 96 (Brandon Presley) and Unnecessary Ruffness (Henry Ho).  We are working hard to take them down!  My Cowboys4Life is leading the Purple Division 6-1!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vision 2030 Plan \u2013 <\/strong>Please remember that we have updated our Vision 2030 plan on a page.  It is important that you replace the former plan with the updated one. <\/a>You can access the plan here: Vision 2030<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fall\/Spring Enrollment Update \u2013<\/strong> Our second 7-week classes are underway as well as early registration for Spring. We tipped over 8,200 students for fall, and spring is off to a great start.  Stay data informed by visiting the Data Access Page<\/a>. Please contact Institutional Research if you have any questions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wellness \u2013<\/strong> While I think of each of you daily, this is my monthly reminder to take care of yourself. Please remember that there are programs and resources available online through Partners for Health and Emotional Wellbeing Solutions (formerly EAP) for support services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our mission at Nashville State impacts individuals, families, communities and economic development. To do our best, we must be our best. And that starts with caring for ourselves and one another.  Falcons Fly Together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
