  • The difference between making a living and making a life

    The difference between making a living and making a life

    March 22nd @ 11 AM in the Johnson Hall Auditorium

    Join the College of Business for the spring semester’s Tech Talk series! This program features faculty/staff that have extraordinary stories or experiences to share…or maybe a unique hobby or interest. We will feature a different guest speaker each session, giving each 17 mins to present and allowing time for discussion, questions, etc.

    Real connections with the TN Tech family of faculty and staff are becoming increasingly important in student persistence efforts. As you explore and engage in transformational experiences on campus, why not come see a side of us that is both engaging and potentially transformational.

    Any questions about this event can be sent to Clay Wesley at cwesley@tntech.edu.

  • I Heart Tech Students Spotlight: ASPIRES

    I Heart Tech Students Spotlight: ASPIRES

    ASPIRES is a new federally-funded grant program at Tech that recruits and trains registered nurses and professional advocates to provide care for survivors of sexual assault. ASPIRES focuses on providing forensic exams (i.e. rape kits), comprehensive advocacy services, connection to resources, care in an encouraging and positive manner, promoting a healing environment and addressing the basic human needs of safety, security and increased self-esteem. While the federal grant covers operating costs, ASPIRES hopes that through the I Heart Tech Students fundraising initiative they can raise money to offer additional support for survivors. For example, they would like to be able to provide each survivor with a tote bag that includes a change of clothes, toiletries, adult coloring books, stress balls, coping cards, water and snacks.

    The Eagle’s Wing Veterans Center is a 1,028-square-foot space located on the third floor of the Jere Whitson building and is dedicated to Tech’s veterans, servicemembers and their dependents.
