First Tennessee Foundation has announced a commitment to Northeast State Community College Foundation in the amount of $40,000 as a pledge to the 50 for 50 Celebrating a Legacy of Excellence Capital Campaign. This gift will support a new state-of-the-art technology center and will be used as a challenge to raise the additional funds needed for the project.
“Northeast State deeply appreciates the generous gift from the First Tennessee Foundation,” said James D. King, president of Northeast State. “First Tennessee has long been an advocate of Northeast State, and we are grateful for its commitment to helping our students realize their goals and dreams.”
“First Tennessee Foundation is honored to be able to provide this $40,000 contribution to Northeast State Community College for a new state-of-the-art student technology center, and we invite others to join us in supporting this worthy project,” said Gerald Hallenbeck, First Tennessee Northeast TN Market President.

Recognizing the critical shortage in Tennessee’s high-tech workforce and with area institutes of higher education able to only meet 0.4% of the current demand, in 2015 Gov. Haslam endorsed a Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) capital outlay award to Northeast State for a new technology center. The funds are earmarked to replace the college’s oldest technical education laboratory and classroom facilities.
The Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) is Tennessee’s largest higher education system, governing 40 post-secondary educational institutions with over 200 teaching locations. The TBR system includes 13 community colleges and 27 colleges of applied technology, providing programs to students across the state, country, and world.
