President's Update - December 10, 2020

Dear Chattanooga State Family,

Congratulations on making it to the end of the fall 2020 semester! You have accomplished so much by getting this far. If you still have any finals left to take, I wish you all the best on those. The College will be closed for the winter holidays starting Monday, December 21 until Sunday, January 3. We will reopen Monday, January 4. Also, if you have not already registered for the spring 2021 semester, I encourage you to do so as soon as possible. We want you to stay on track to graduate. Information about registration is below as well. I am truly grateful that you are part of the Chattanooga State family.

If you are able to work and learn from home, please do so. If you must come to campus for class, work, or teaching, you may continue to do so. Be sure to complete the COVID-19 questionnaire before coming to campus. 

The COVID-19 virus is spreading rapidly in our community. Please protect yourself, your loved ones, and our community by continuing to wear your mask when you are on campus or out in public. Please stay home if you feel sick. We want you to be healthy, and we need your help in keeping our campus and community healthy as well. We are resilient. We are innovative. We are united. We are ChattState.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Ashford, Ed.D.
President
