I would like to officially welcome all of our returning and new students to the fall semester at Volunteer State Community College. I have had the privilege of serving as the Vice President for Business and Finance for over eleven years now. Volunteer State is a great place and I am very proud of it.
As a new or returning student, I hope you are also proud of this College and the Gallatin campus. In the time I have been here, I have seen plenty of changes to the physical campus. We have had two major construction efforts, the completed Allied Health South construction and the Humanities Building that is currently underway. We also had a significant construction project back in 2006 when a tornado did over $9 million in damages to our campus. Following the tornado, we all pulled together and sacrificed some creature comforts while the campus was rebuilt. For a while, it just wasn’t too pretty around Vol State, but eventually, the campus started to look nice again.
There are a lot of us on this campus who take a great deal of pride in how this campus looks and how it is evolving. My point in writing this article is to ask for your help. Please help us keep our campus beautiful. When I see little things like gum on a campus sidewalk, I am distressed. I am distressed because I personally know the hard working custodial team at Vol State will have to clean up something that just shouldn’t have happened. Our entire Plant Operations team is dedicated to creating a culture and atmosphere that are conducive to learning. We want you to be comfortable in your classrooms and in the recreational space. We want a clean and inviting campus. Please help us keep Vol State beautiful.
Thank you in advance for doing your part. Together we can all have a great fall semester!
