Sunday is Tennessee Tech’s Charter Day!
On March 27, 1915, a group of local officials came together to establish an institution of higher education in Cookeville. From Dixie College to Tennessee Polytechnic Institute to Tennessee Tech University, the place we fondly call “Tech” has come a long way in 107 years.
March 27 celebrates the 10,500 students who currently attend Tech. It celebrates the 80,000 alumni who call Tech their alma mater. It celebrates the 1,100 faculty and staff who dedicate their careers to helping students. It celebrates all the ways in which the City of Cookeville embraces the university. And it celebrates Tennessee Tech, a place that has changed so many lives.
Thank you, Tennessee Tech. Happy Charter Day.
