859

Tom Timmerman, professor and chair of the Department of Decision Sciences and Management in the College of Business, has been named the faculty leader for the Tech Tomorrow Exceptional Stewardship goal.

“Tennessee Tech is widely known for its great return-on-investment for students,” Timmerman said. “Our graduates receive well-paying jobs for the modest price they pay for a Tech education. I’m very proud of this reputation and believe that it is a key strategic strength of the university.

“So how do we maintain this strength? We must continue to provide high value to students through high-quality programs, faculty and services. But we must provide these things while also minimizing unnecessary costs. I’m happy to lead the Exceptional Stewardship Working Group in an effort to continuously find ways to provide value to our students while controlling costs. We have an outstanding group of faculty, administrators and students with great ideas for achieving this goal and I look forward to working with them.”

The previous leader for this goal was Ann Davis, professor of accounting in the College of Business.
