Leading the Way: The Love for Community Drives Dr. Hall

My Guest, Southwest Tennessee Community College President, Dr. Tracy Hall.

“ Community is not just a place, it’s a purpose.” ~ Unknown

My guest this week is a true leader in every sense of the word.  Dr. Tracy Hall is the president of Southwest Tennessee Community College and her story that led her to Memphis was not one of an accident.

Dr. Hall shares how she grew up near St. Louis, Missouri, and she came from a large family that played a huge roll in her early foundation which instilled a love and compassion for everyone.  Dr. Hall explains that even though she considers herself to be an introvert she still won Homecoming Queen at her high school and was even voted most popular.  She attributes these accolades to how she always treated everyone the same and genuinely enjoyed learning about others interests.

Dr. Hall didn’t initially set out to be an educator, but when a friend suggested she should try teaching, it didn’t take long before she realized how impactful teaching can be.  Over the years Dr. Hall furthered her education and she eventually found her way to administrative roles.  Then when she had the opportunity to apply for a president’s position she had two possibilities.  She could have went to Chattanooga Community College or she could take the position at Southwest Tennessee Community College.

Dr. Hall considered both possibilities and she understood that Memphis is a tough city with a lot of crime and poverty.  These realities not only didn’t scare Dr. Hall away, they actually motivated her.  Where some would have ran from the obvious challenges, Dr. Hall embraced the moment looking at it as opportunity.  I know you will be inspired this week’s episode and just remember, “Southwest Tennessee Community College is your best choice.”
