Community and Student Spotlight: Putnam Proud Clean-Up Event
Rural Reimagined recognizes the Tennessee Tech Office of Sustainability for their annual Putnam Proud Clean-up Event. A total of 70 Tech students participated in the clean-up that took place in several different areas of the county including roadsides, bike trails, and parts of campus. Student groups that participated include African Student Union, Student Members of American Chemical Society, Student Government Association, and the Office of Sustainability. A few other student groups plan to participate in a clean-up soon as well. The Office of Sustainability gave out supplies to all groups, and the Clean Commission gave out t-shirts to all who participated. Lydia Young, a student worker in the Office of Sustainability, stated “We look forward to this event every year and love getting to show our appreciation towards Putnam County!” It was a very successful week of cleaning up Putnam County.
