Tennessee earned its nickname, The Volunteer State, from the earliest colonial days, being one of the first regions to declare independence and leap into the American Revolution with both feet (albeit as part of North Carolina). Tennessee even sent volunteers to both sides of the Civil War. Over the centuries, Tennessee has grown from rugged frontier to one of the South's most advanced states, using its grounding in agriculture and mechanics to grow a strong economy rooted in technology and resources. In fact, Tennessee - especially Chattanooga - has become a new technology hub, and a transforming economy throughout the state is proving Tennessee's strength once again. And Tennessee's higher education system - made up of Southern Ivies, robust state schools, and academically rigorous liberal arts colleges - is leading the way.
As Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris explains, "The best colleges and universities in Tennessee embrace Tennessee's past while driving Tennessee's future." Tennessee, of course, is known for music, which has "has made a tremendous impact on Tennessee," Sealey-Morris: "it drives tourism in the state's largest cities, while the industry itself employs thousands of Tennesseans – not just the stars and producers, obviously, but agents, marketers, lawyers, accountants, and a whole lot of songwriters to keep Nashville's hits coming." But with its educational strengths, "Tennesee has built world-class healthcare at Vanderbilt, high-powered business and finance at schools like Rhodes and Belmont (where Nashville's agents, managers, and executives are educated), and a booming tech sector that is making Chattanooga look more and more like Seattle every day." "Tennessee's investment in higher education is paying off," Sealey-Morris observes, "and the 21st century is seeing the return."
