Welcome Back Motlow Students!

         The faculty and staff are excited that you have chosen to continue your educational pursuits at our outstanding Community College.  We collectively encourage you to attend all classes whether on ground, virtual or online.  It’s important to your success that you attend your classes regularly.  This Fall 2020 Semester is unique due to COVID 19, and I want to remind each of you to practice proper social distancing, to wear a face mask that covers your nose and mouth, to submit your daily on ground assessment each day you come to campus, and to follow all the classroom and hallway guidelines.


Motlow Smyrna Academic Dean Dr. Gregory Killough

 

         Despite COVID 19, each of you can have an enriching semester so that you can obtain your goals for the future. I want to offer you some practices that will help you to be successful at the college level:

 

         1. - Attend, participate and do all assignments in each class.

 

         2. - Participate in class activities and class discussions.

 

         3. - Reach out to your instructor when you have a question or when you do not understand some classroom or textbook material.

 

         4. - Prepare for class ahead of time by reading or reviewing class materials. 

Complete all assignments on time.

 

         5. - Set aside time to study, relax, exercise, and for family and friends.

         

         6. - Your Professors want you to excel, so build a great working relationship with them.  

 

         I wish each of you a successful Fall 2020 Semester. Remember to work hard, stay focused, complete your assignments, and have fun.  Learning is fun, and it will make a difference in your life.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dean Killough

Welcome Letter to Motlow Smyrna Students

Hello Students!

I want to welcome you to what I hope to be your best semester to date!  Speaking directly from the offices of the deans and speaking on behalf of our great faculty and staff, we are excited you have chosen Motlow to be a partner in your educational pursuit.  

Smyrna Academic Dean Dr. Gregory Killough
What phenomenal growth and opportunities our Campus is experiencing.  For you returning students, you have witnessed this growth made manifest from groundbreaking to opening of Smyrna 3.  For you freshmen, you are seeing this through the enrollment of your friends and neighbors. State of the art classrooms, equipment and distant educational opportunities. A new library, new computer labs, new offices. I encourage you to avail yourself to the resources never before offered. I encourage you to seek resources not yet before you. I encourage you to create opportunities, set goals, and aspire for greatness as we walk together. Let us continue to be a campus and a community who are working together to ensure success and promote a standard of excellence.

In closing, let us master what is before us but not settle in complacency.    

Have a wonderful Semester!

Dean Killough and Assistant Dean Mitchell
