Roane State names Morgan, Cumberland campus directors
Roane State Community College recently named two new campus directors who will focus on recruiting and retaining students.
Melody Kees, Morgan County site director, is a lifetime resident of the county. She has worked for Morgan County Schools in a variety of roles for the past 17 years. Prior to that, Kees worked with Roane County Schools. She has spent years partnering with Roane State, helping students with dual enrollment, early college, middle college, and guiding students as they transition from high school to postsecondary options.
“My hope is to partner with local businesses, schools, and our communities to enhance course offerings here at the Morgan County campus as well as increase enrollment,” Kees said in a college news release.
Dawn Shaw, Cumberland County site director, has served as the senior high school counselor for Cumberland County High School since 2012.
“One of my goals is to also reach out to adults in Cumberland County and surrounding areas who qualify for Tennessee Reconnect so that our campus can work with their schedules, providing classes and services to help them earn their degrees with no tuition or fees,” she said.
