A Welcome From The President

On behalf of our faculty, staff and the college administration, welcome to Volunteer State Community College. This fall semester marks my 7th year as president, and Volunteer State’s 40th year of providing quality, accessible higher education and workforce training to northern middle Tennessee. By choosing to attend Volunteer State, you have joined a diverse and growing population of individuals who have decided to make their lives and their communities better through education.

Our commitment to excellence can be seen in all areas of our College - from faculty to facilities to programs, all of which serve as enhancements to your educational experience at Volunteer State. Here you will find a wealth of resources and inspiration to aid your personal quest for achievement and success through higher education.

Volunteer State Community College is a great choice for your education for many reasons. The most important reason has to do with the care and concern you receive here to prepare you for the challenges of the future, regardless of your goals. Our new Quality Enhancement Program (QEP) is designed to improve the critical thinking skills of our students to better prepare them in the workplace. There are also several technological resources available at Volunteer State to enhance learning support, improve access, and inspire creativity for the working student. The care and concern you receive at Volunteer State, with respect to your educational needs, will truly make a difference in your journey forward after you leave this institution.

You have made a wise decision by pursuing your college education. I wish you the very best during your time here at Volunteer State Community College, and congratulations on taking the first step to educational achievement.

Sincerely,

Warren R. Nichols, Ed.D.
