We invite you to take part in an evening dedicated to transforming lives by supporting first-generation college students.
 
A Taste of Southern will be held at The Signal located on the grounds of the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo on Thursday, October 3, 2024, beginning at 6:00 p.m. with a special cook-off demonstration from Southern’s Vegetarian Culinary Arts program. Enjoy Southern’s own Jazz Ensemble and an evening performance by multi-Dove Award winner Ernie Haase and Signature Sound.
