The slogan, “Education for Life!” properly describes the teaching and learning community at Motlow State Community College. Opening its doors in 1969, Motlow continues as a center for lifelong learning and growth opportunities for more than 440,000 residents in Bedford, Cannon, Coffee, DeKalb, Franklin, Lincoln, Moore, Rutherford, Van Buren, White, and Warren counties in southern middle Tennessee.
Motlow College is one of thirteen community college governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents, the sixth largest system of higher education in the nation. Affiliate TBR institutions include six universities and 26 technology centers. The TBR educates more than 180,000 students each year.
It is impossible to talk about Motlow College without speaking of the Reagor Motlow family from Moore County. The Motlow family donated 187 acres of land on which the college is built; subsequently, the college bears the family name—Motlow College. Motlow honors Senator Motlow; his sister, Mrs. James Boyd; his brothers, Connor, Robert, and D.E.; his mother, Mrs. Lem Motlow; and his uncle, Tom Motlow for their significant contributions. The family are descendants of Jack Daniel, the original proprietor of Jack Daniel Distillery.
Throughout the college’s 38 years, Motlow has been fortunate to have strong, visionary leaders. Dr. MaryLou Apple, who began her reign in 2006, serves as Motlow’s fifth and current president. Previous presidents include Dr. Sam Ingram, Dr. Harry Wagner, Dr. A. Frank Glass, and Dr. Arthur L. Walker, Jr.
Meeting the community college mission of taking education to the people, Motlow has expanded its original single location campus beyond Moore County by strategically establishing permanent buildings in satellite communities. Today, over 4,000 students attend the original and the satellite campuses in:
The implementation of the Dual/Joint Enrollment Program for high school students heightens access throughout the service area.
