Board of Trustees NSCC President Dr. Shanna L. Jackson
Despite the many challenges we faced over the last year, we were fortunate to have a very successful year in strengthening partnerships and securing resources to support the college and our students. But we know there is still work to be done, and there will be more challenges down the road for us to overcome, together. Our work would not be possible without our amazing staff, faculty, volunteers, board members, supporters and community partners. I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your time, commitment, dedication, and support over the past year. Friends like you are vital to our work, and we are deeply grateful. I invite you to learn more about our work, our students, and our partners. Join us in our efforts to remove barriers to educational attainment and economic mobility in the communities we serve.

This year we are launching Vision 2030: A Student Ready College our new strategic plan to continue building on the strong legacy of positively impacting students and the communities we serve. Nashville State is committed to a shared vision of achieving equitable outcomes for our diverse community of learners. The Nashville State Community College Foundation is critical to reaching the bold targets we are setting for student success and workforce development. The Foundation’s generous support helps eliminate the variety of barriers our students encounter on their educational journey. Our commitment to holistic student support services is strengthened by the great work of the Foundation. As the college continues to navigate the challenges of the pandemic and the flooding in Waverly that impacted our Humphreys County campus, we need your support more than ever. Your time, gifts and talents are the external resources needed to navigate these uncharted waters. Thank you for the support you continue to provide to our college and students through the Nashville State Community College Foundation. Together, we are Nashville State strong!

Nashville State serves the
most diverse student body in the Tennessee Board of Regents system.
Nashville GRAD is the first-of-its-kind to provide targeted financial assistance and intensive academic professional supports to students at Nashville State clearing their path to economic prosperity, helping them graduate with the skills they need to obtain higher wage, high demand jobs in our growing local economy.
Nashville GRAD was the winner of the Tennessee Board of Regents 2021 SOAR Partnership Award
As a proud Nashville State student, I can confidently state that the NashGRAD program provided me the tools and resources necessary to thrive from the moment I became officially enrolled. I am a firstgeneration, non-traditional college student who found it difficult to thrive during my first attempt at college. Without access to an advisor, help paying for costly textbooks, and difficulty feeling accepted at school, I began to feel as if college wasn’t right for me. After my first year here at Nashville State, I realize now that what was missing was the authentic support and guidance that I was seriously lacking during my first collegiate experience. Now, I have the ability to pay for all of my class textbooks, access to my incredible advisor Mrs. Kearra Weiting Puzas-Kessen whenever I need it, and a genuine sense of belonging to a loving community at the Student Success Center thanks to NashGRAD.
Everything about this program has provided a sense of fulfillment and hope as I navigate the sometimes treacherous waters of collegiate life. The future appears so much brighter to me now, something I would not have been able to say just over a year ago. There are no words that I can find to truly illustrate how grateful I am to be a NashGRAD student.
