The story of Cleveland State Community College is the story of our region.  Through good times and bad, the College and the community rally to ensure that we support our students, neighbors and friends.  For 55 years, CSCC has been part of the fabric of southeastern Tennessee, and it is my goal to ensure that we strengthen that bond so we can grow even stronger over the next 55 years.

Cleveland State provides the students of our region with educational opportunities to learn, grow and thrive in preparation for the jobs of today and careers of tomorrow.  The College also provides our regional businesses and industries with highly skilled workers that fuel our economy and contribute to society.

Our collective future binds us together through necessary collaboration, cooperation and understanding.  I look forward to helping the legacy of our great College and community reach new heights as we provide a world-class education to all students in our community.
