On April 16, the ʯÁñÊÓÆµ College Foundation hosted its annual ʯÁñÊÓÆµ Ladies Philanthropic Society (MLPS) "Chari-tea" at the Marcum Technology Center. The event raised $6,000 to support scholarships for students over the age of 25 who are pursuing higher education but often do not qualify for traditional financial aid.
ʯÁñÊÓÆµ State recently said farewell to two women who dedicated their careers to the betterment of education and the ʯÁñÊÓÆµ family. Charle Coffey and Vera Brooks both spent over four decades at the College helping students to achieve their goals and furthering the cause of education.
ʯÁñÊÓÆµ-McMinnville is pleased to host the first Electric Vehicle Showcase event on April 22 and 23 from 9 am to 4 pm. This free event is made possible through a grant from the Drive Electric Tennessee Program and will allow anyone interested to ride or drive an electric vehicle.
Tennessee Tech University recently assisted ʯÁñÊÓÆµ State in obtaining two electric vehicle charging pedestals for the Automation and Robotics Training Center (ARTC) in McMinnville. This donation proceeds the beginning of the upcoming Electric Vehicle Engineering Technology (EVET) Program that is slated to begin in the ARTC in the fall of 2025. This support enables the ARTC to not only service electric vehicles but also help electric vehicle owners in the Warren County community.
While ʯÁñÊÓÆµ State looks for ways to benefit the 11 counties it services, the College is only able to thrive through the generosity of those communities. Middle Tennessee Natural Gas (MTNG) recently made a contribution that will expand the Automation and Robotics Center's offerings to students and give students in McMinnville additional opportunities.
