Motlow Receives Prestigious Award

January 22, 2020

Motlow State recently received the prestigious Minuteman Award in recognition of the College’s support of Tennessee National Guard members. The award was presented to Dr. Michael Torrence, Motlow president, at a ceremony held on the Motlow Smyrna Campus.
The award honors the college’s participation in the Tennessee STRONG (Support, Training, and Renewing Opportunity for National Guardsmen) Act, and its contribution to the National Guard community through education.
The award is particularly meaningful to Torrence as he is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, serving as a senior airman from 1992 to 1996.
