The open house will be 4-7 p.m. at the Morristown Center located at 210 W. Morris Blvd. (the Medical Arts Building, a facility Tusculum shares with HealthStar, Inc.).

The addition of three large classrooms, a computer lab, two faculty offices, and a lobby area during the past year has more than doubled the size of the Morristown Center. With the addition, the center now has six classrooms.

"The expansion of the Morristown Center allows us to provide educational opportunities to a greater number of people in the Lakeway area," said Dr. Dolphus E. Henry, president of Tusculum College. "The new classrooms and computer lab will provide an improved learning environment for our current students and those to come in the future."

Courses have been offered in Morristown since 1984 as part of Tusculum’s Professional Studies program, specifically designed for working adults. As part of Professional Studies, four degree programs are taught at an accelerated, focused pace in locations convenient to students’ homes or workplaces at sites ranging from Chattanooga to Bristol.

The Professional Studies program offers students opportunities to earn a bachelor of science degree in organizational management, to obtain master’s degrees in organizational management or education, or to complete their elective and core requirement courses towards a degree.

Door prizes will be given away during the open house.

A new alumni chapter recently formed in Morristown and will be meeting in conjunction with the open house. Jim Senter, a 1994 graduate, is president of the new Morristown Alumni Chapter, and Miller Lyons, a 1976 graduate, is president-elect. Any alumni interested in the new chapter are asked to contact Senter via email at jsenter@charter.net, or Sean Bride, Tusculum College alumni director, at sbride@tusculum.edu or 423-636-7331.
