  • Yes or no? Lessons of a campaign scheduler

    Yes or no? Lessons of a campaign scheduler

    February 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”: Tennessee Tech’s Food Pantry

    Tech’s Food Pantry ensures students will not have to worry about affording their next meal. Thanks to generous support from the Golden Eagle community in previous “I Heart Tech Students” initiatives, the Food Pantry expanded their hours and purchased a refrigerator to provide healthy options for students facing food insecurity. Additional support will allow the Food Pantry to offer 30 items per client visit, keep the most popular items in stock, and stock additional fresh items in the refrigerator and freezer. When you eat well, you do well.

    Any gift of any amount to any area made online at 1915.tntech.edu between Feb. 14 and Mar. 28 counts in the “I Heart Tech Students” total. You can choose to make a gift to Tech’s Food Pantry or to any area on campus that is meaningful to you. Visit 1915.tntech.edu to learn more.
