CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville State Community College (NSCC) has named Clarksville native Steve Conklin as the director of the new Nashville State campus that will begin classes here in Clarksville this fall.
The new campus is located in the former Saturn dealership, located at 1760 Wilma Rudolph Blvd.
“We are glad to have Steve Conklin join our staff as Director of our new extended campus in Clarksville,” said Eileen Crane, Executive Assistant to Dr. George Van Allen, President of Nashville State Community College. “Steve’s background, experience and Clarksville ties made him an excellent choice for the position.”
Conklin is a graduate of Northwest High School and holds a bachelors degree from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas and a Masters in Business Administration from Touro University.
Prior to serving Nashville State, Steve served in the United States Air Force for 20 years, most recently working at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPPS) in Nashville.
Conklin and his wife reside in Clarksville with their two sons.
“I am very excited to join Nashville State in their expansion to the Clarksville area,” said Conklin. “We will now be able to offer quality higher education opportunities in a newly renovated, state-of-the-art facility, for those students seeking an affordable, less intimidating place to begin college in the Northwest Middle Tennessee area.”
“This is another positive step forward for Clarksville and Montgomery County in our efforts to bring additional educational opportunities to the area,” said State Representative Joe Pitts, who played an instrumental part in getting a Nashville State campus in Clarksville. “This will position the area to better attract industry and the jobs they bring by having a better educated labor pool. It is also gratifying to see a local talent being utilized by Nashville State.”
