Crutcher Takes the Helm at Health Sciences Center of Emphasis
“Our goal is to expand our
offerings for more healthcare providers in other areas as well,” said Terri
Crutcher, the new director of the Health Sciences Continuing Education Center
of Emphasis. “We’re also open to new ideas for classes that professionals think
we should offer.”
Crutcher is a familiar face for
many health care professionals because of her work with the highly popular Vol
State Radiologic Technology Program. Crutcher coordinated student clinical placements
with area hospitals and doctors’ offices.
“I speak the same language and understand the specific needs of health care providers,” Crutcher said. “I know how important continuing education is for certification and licensure.”
New classes coming up at the Center include Basic Life
Support Provider, Advanced Cardiac Life Support Provider, Critical Care
Paramedic and Ultrasound Patient Assessment. New classes are added every few
weeks. For more information visit the Center web page at www.volstate.edu/HealthSciences.
Readers will be able to view the latest classes and also sign up for an email
newsletter of class offerings. The phone number for the Center is 615-230-3338

Wishing Ken the Best
Ken Lovett began his Vol State career eight years ago as the Webmaster and continued as Public Relations Director and finally Executive Assistant to the President. He did each job with passion and energy and proved himself to be an innovator. What many of us will remember the most, though, is his great sense of humor. No matter how tough the circumstances Ken was always a really nice guy. That's not to say Kenyatta has left this world. He goes on to work for all of us at the Tennessee Board of Regents as part of the Community College team. We wish Ken the best of luck. Here are a few pictures from his going away party.
Revolutionary Faculty
Vol State at Livingston faculty members David Johnson and Scott McMillan had to dress the part for a play about the Constitutional Convention. McMillan portrayed James Wilson and Johnson took on the role of Alexander Hamilton. The play was held in Cookeville.
