  • “I Heart Tech Students Spotlight”: College of Arts and Sciences

    The College of Arts & Sciences is focused on “value-added” experiences for students beyond the classroom during this year’s “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising initiative. Graduating seniors routinely mention co-curricular experiences as some of the most enjoyable during their time at Tech. The pandemic deprived students of these opportunities but also reinforced their value. Part of inspiring well-rounded students is to experience the arts and sciences in a hands-on, real-world fashion. Students are eager to participate, and your support of the Arts & Sciences Student Travel Fund will open opportunities, doors and minds.

    Any gift of any amount to any area made online at https://1915.tntech.edu between Feb. 14 and Mar. 28 counts in the “I Heart Tech Students” total. You can make a gift to the College of Arts & Sciences or to any area on campus that is meaningful to you. Visit https://1915.tntech.edu to learn more.
