A New Chapter of Support
On September 12, 2025, Volunteer State Community College proudly celebrated the grand opening of the new Dr. Orinthia T. Montague Veterans and Military Family Center, marking a significant milestone in the school’s commitment to supporting those who have served our nation. The center provides a welcoming space where student veterans, active service members, and military families can connect, access resources, and find community.
This dedicated space was created to support our military-connected students by providing a place to network, study, or simply relax. The center is equipped with computers, a television, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a coffee maker, snacks, and more, designed with comfort and connection in mind. Two organizations located in Hendersonville, Tennessee, supported the center by making significant donations. Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9851 provided the television, and the Associates Vietnam Veterans of America continues to supply drinks and snacks for the students to enjoy.
The opening of the Dr. Orinthia T. Montague Veterans and Military Family Center reflects the college’s ongoing mission to honor and support its Veteran community, recognizing their sacrifices while fostering their success in higher education.
We are excited to see how this space continues to grow and enrich the student experience, promoting both academic success and a strong sense of belonging. At Volunteer State Community College, we are proud to honor those who have served and hope the center becomes a meaningful part of their educational journey.
