During its quarterly meeting, the Tennessee Board of Regents appointed Patrick Wade as the next president of TCAT Murfreesboro.

Wade is currently vice president of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Knoxville, where he has worked since 2012. He holds a Master of Science in management and leadership from Western Governors University and a bachelor of business administration in finance from Tennessee Tech University.

Wade will succeed Dr. Carol Puryear, who retired in September after more than 28 years of service in the TBR system, including two separate tenures as TCAT Murfreesboro’s president and as a vice chancellor at the system office. Dr. Jeff Sisk, executive director of the TBR Center for Workforce Development, is serving as interim president.

“Thank you for the trust and the wonderful opportunity to serve the Murfreesboro area and Tennessee. I’m ready to jump in feet first,” Wade said in a news release from the Board of Regents.
