The Chattanooga State Kimball Site has announced two in-person Tennessee Reconnect Information Sessions for Thursday, May 27 at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. CT. Both sessions will be presented by Marsha Barker, Chattanooga State’s director of Adult Services. The site is located at 2100 Main Street in Kimball, TN.
When Tennessee Gov. Lee’s GIVE Grant was announced in November 2019, Chattanooga State, as one of its recipients, was poised for action to expand healthcare training in three of its rural service areas. In little more than a year’s time, industry certifications in OSHA, CPR, and Certified Patient Care Technicians were awarded to high school students from Bledsoe, Sequatchie and Marion counties.
Chattanooga State Community College has put together an in-person, fun, free, mouth-watering event at the Kimball Site for individuals who apply or enroll for classes this fall. Applications and Appetizers will feature free appetizers from a local food truck vendor.
Folks in the Marion, Grundy and Sequatchie counties can look forward to free appetizers from Shane’s Chicken, Fish and More. This event will take place at the Chattanooga State Kimball Site, 2100 Main Street, Kimball, TN 37347, on Thursday, May 6 from 2 to 4 p.m. CT (Central Time).
Chattanooga State Community College has announced that its 2021 Commencement ceremonies will be held throughout the week of May 10 and, “we have a lot to celebrate!” shared Brad McCormick, assistant vice president of Enrollment Services.
Thirty-five smaller in-person ceremonies will encompass all academic divisions including Business, Engineering and Information Technologies, Humanities and Fine Arts, Mathematics and Sciences, Nursing and Allied Health, and Social and Behavioral Sciences, and which also will include Collegiate High and University Parallel graduates.

Building onto the success of Chattanooga State’s 7-week term format this spring, Chattanooga State Community College is now enrolling for the second 7-week term that begins March 15 and ends May 6. So far, 551 students, almost 10% of currently enrolled students, have chosen the more focused learning option.
Enrolling in a 7-week term provides students with several benefits, including:
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) occupations are expected to experience rapid growth in the coming decade; however, a gender gap persists in STEM occupations worldwide. To help address this gap, Chattanooga State Community College will present Women in STEM, to provide opportunities for students to explore STEM careers virtually from home or school.
Patrick O’Hagan, Chattanooga State’s interim director of the Kimball Site and program manager for contract training in the Economic & Workforce Development Division, was recently selected as a member of the Leadership Tennessee NEXT Class III (LTN).
As one of 29 up-and-coming chosen professionals for the third cohort of Leadership Tennessee NEXT, Mr. O’Hagan will grow his professional skills and network with state leaders to address issues of state importance to help build a stronger Tennessee.
Chattanooga State Community College will begin offering two 7-week terms during the spring 2021 semester that begins January 19. The 7-week format allows the student to take the same number of credit hours as they would normally take during a regular 15-week semester, only they are taking fewer at a time.
The 7-week format splits in half the traditional 15-week semester. Students can take 2-to-3 courses during the first 7-week term, and 2-to-3 courses during the second 7-week term, thereby completing four, five or six courses during spring semester.
Chattanooga State is proud to announce that the following students have attained Dean’s List status for the 2020 fall semester. Eligibility requirements to make the Dean’s List includes students who have completed 12 or more hours of college-level work with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 or higher for that semester. Dean’s List recognition is based on calculations at the end of the semester and cannot be updated later to reflect grade changes, such as removal of incompletes.
