Motlow State Community College has joined forces with CMT and the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) College System of Tennessee as one of four community colleges selected to be a part of CMT’s Empowering Education initiative. The project features a multi-city concert tour encouraging rural Tennesseans to pursue higher education.
Country music artist Courtney Cole will be the featured performer at the Motlow State free concert on April 9, inside Powers Auditorium on the Moore County campus, with activities beginning at 5:30 p.m. To reserve a ticket visit Motlow’s website at mscc.edu and click the Courtney Cole banner.
The partnership was announced last fall at the TBR Presidents’ Meeting in Nashville and aims to encourage more Tennesseans to attend college – whether to earn an academic degree or a technical or occupational degree or certificate – paving their way to successful careers that will benefit themselves and their families. CMT’s Empowering Education initiative offers four community colleges across the state the opportunity to receive additional support at a local level, including a free concert at each stop featuring one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country,” Courtney Cole.
She has opened for the biggest names in country music like Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney and Thomas Rhett, and was named an artist to watch by Spotify and the Huffington Post.
