 <\/p>\n

I hope your students are excited about returning to campus!\u00a0 It has been very quiet here without them.\u00a0 On the Tusculum campus, we are anxiously working on preparations to get the 2016-17 academic year off to an exciting start. There has been much going on in the past few months that I would like to share with you as you prepare to come back next week.<\/p>\n

As of the end of June, we have raised $23.14 million of the $25 million Tusculum First Capital Campaign goal with funds earmarked for the new center for science and math, the growth of academic programs, endowed scholarships, student life improvements, advancements in technology, and an environmental resources and facilities center.<\/p>\n

I think you will be surprised to see the progress that has been made on the Ronald H. and Verna June Meen Center for Science and Mathematics. The building will meet strategic needs as the college continues to grow in enrollment and program offerings. We anticipate being in the building by January 2017.<\/p>\n

Academic programs being added this fall include the Master of Science in nursing degree with a family nurse practitioner concentration. The family nurse practitioner program is a graduate level program designed to address the need for more primary healthcare providers in the community. When fully implemented, the program will consist of a BSN to MSN track, an RN to MSN track and a post master\u2019s certification track.\u00a0 Tusculum College will begin offering an associate degree program for the first time in fall of 2016, and enrollment in the program is now open. The Board of Trustees also gave full approval to initiate a Bachelor of Science in health care administration degree program. A Bachelor of Science in computer science, a Bachelor of Science in information technology and a Master of Accountancy were preliminarily approved pending development of the curricula. Also approved was the development of a minor in web design. The new programs will be initiated between now and 2019.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing you at Parent Weekend, scheduled for Sept. 23-24!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Nancy B. Moody, PhD<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

President<\/p>\n
