The Non-Traditional Student Organization (NTSO) at Tennessee Tech is hosting a Diaper and Baby Wipe Drive to benefit The Food Pantry on Tuesday, March 22, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Help us help our fellow non-traditional students who are also parents by donating new and unopened packages of diapers and wipes. We will be collecting outside of the RUC lower-level entrance.
Researchers generally consider nontraditional students to have the following characteristics: being independent for financial aid purposes, having one or more dependents, being a single caregiver, not having a traditional high school diploma, delaying postsecondary enrollment, attending school part time, and being employed full time (U.S. Dept. of Education, 2017).
