SGA represents the student body at events on Motlow's campuses, including the college's Leadership Council. SGA is involved in planning and executing events on every campus, from Weeks of Welcome to finals week celebrations.

The Motlow College Foundation is proud to announce the overwhelming success of the 2025 Emerald City Gala, which raised an incredible $140,000 to support student scholarships and emergency assistance. This record-breaking achievement makes it the most successful Gala in the Foundation's history, directly benefiting Motlow students by helping them stay on track to achieve their academic and career goals.
Tennessee Tech University recently assisted Motlow State in obtaining two electric vehicle charging pedestals for the Automation and Robotics Training Center (ARTC) in McMinnville. This donation proceeds the beginning of the upcoming Electric Vehicle Engineering Technology (EVET) Program that is slated to begin in the ARTC in the fall of 2025. This support enables the ARTC to not only service electric vehicles but also help electric vehicle owners in the Warren County community.
Motlow State is pleased to announce that the original McMinnville campus building on Cadillac Lane will soon be named the Jerry W. Cooper Center. The naming will honor the late Tennessee senator whose dedication to his community and to education played a vital role in the College's success. Cooper was a friend, advocate, and champion of Motlow State. His legacy lives on in the facilities and programs he helped to create that continue to serve Motlow students today.
While Motlow State looks for ways to benefit the 11 counties it services, the College is only able to thrive through the generosity of those communities. Middle Tennessee Natural Gas (MTNG) recently made a contribution that will expand the Automation and Robotics Center's offerings to students and give students in McMinnville additional opportunities.
