Douglas-Cherokee Educational Opportunity Center

Thank you Walters State Community College for inviting us during the Summer 2026 Senators Start Up events!

We had a great time connecting with Nicole and Dena at Landrum Workforce Solutions, and with Sandra and Cristian at Sandra’s Academy of Salons.
We are excited to collaborate in supporting our community- whether it is helping individuals find meaningful employment or guiding them on their journey to vocational or post secondary, and higher education.
We look forward to working together to make a positive impact.

Late upload:
We're thrilled to celebrate Melinda and Melanie, a remarkable mother-daughter duo who achieved a major milestone together by graduating from WSCC last month. Their dedication serves as a shining example of what can be accomplished through hard work and perseverance. We eagerly anticipate witnessing their continued growth and success as they embark on their next educational endeavors.
Congratulations!

It was a pleasure to meet Joshua Renner, Enrollment Representative for Adult, Online, and Graduate Programs at Tusculum University, at the job fair in Cocke County today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TENNESSEE!

The volunteer state became the 16th state when George Washington signed the official statehood document on this date in 1796. Tennessee is 230 years old today.

Among the many great things to come out of Tennessee are Tennessee Promise and Tennessee Reconnect, last-dollar scholarships that made Tennessee the first state to offer free tuition to a majority of students.
