Dear Chattanooga State Family,
I hope your fall break was a time for you to rest and recharge. As we prepare for the second session of our 7-week classes and the second half of the semester for 15-week classes, I hope you feel ready to finish the year strong.
Over 500 of our students are starting their semester for the first time next week. I am happy to welcome these new students to the College and to the Chattanooga State family.
Whether you are returning for the second half of the semester or starting classes for the first time, I encourage you to take advantage of the many resources at the College to help you achieve your goals. Remember, the greatest resource you have is your instructors. Be sure to stay in contact with them during the semester.
