  • Course Evaluation Information Session with IARE – October 14

    Course Evaluation Information Session with IARE – October 14

    Get the most out of your course evaluation reports. The Office of Institutional Assessment, Research, & Effectiveness (IARE) will be hosting a session on the University’s course evaluation process. This session will provide an overview of the evaluation tool known as IDEA and the role of instructors in selecting the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) most appropriate for their courses. When instructors select the most relevant SLOs for their courses, course reports provide a better evaluation for what occurs in the classroom. Best practices will also be shared for garnering student participation and good response rates. Join us for this online training session on Friday, October 14th at 12PM.

  • The 18th Annual Nolan Fowler Constitution Day at Tennessee Tech

    The 18th Annual Nolan Fowler Constitution Day at Tennessee Tech

    Join us for the 18th Annual Nolan Fowler Constitution Day celebration. This year’s speaker is Dr. Elizabeth Kaufer Busch presenting The Constitutional Integrity of Title IX. Dr. Kaufer Busch has devoted extensive research to the evolving societal concepts of sex, gender and feminist thought. She authored the book Title IX: The Transformation of Sex Discrimination in Education, in which she examines how the 37-word Title IX law has transformed over forty years in regard to non-legislative processes.

    In 2005, Dr. Nolan Fowler committed $150,000 to create the Nolan Fowler Endowment for Constitutional Development at Tennessee Tech. Dr. Fowler’s legacy has ensured that Tennessee Tech’s annual observance of Constitution Day reflects his love and commitment to education and allows for the program to bring in exceptional, nationally renowned speakers.

    Thursday, Sept. 15 at 6 p.m.
    Derryberry Hall Auditorium
    event is free and open to the public
