Rural Reimagined would like to recognize Dr. Helen Hunt (Associate Professor of English and Director of the Women’s Center) for receiving Level 1 funding (up to $2,500) from our Faculty Grant Program. Dr. Hunt proposed her project titled “We Persist: A Women and Gender Studies Seminar in Livingston, TN” which is a collaborative seminar between Tech’s Women and Gender Studies minor, Tech’s Women’s Center, and the Livingston Civic and Garden Club. Her seminar’s goals are “to increase understanding of women’s activist history in Tennessee, raise awareness of specific gender-based issues facing Overton County, and provide practical strategies to address these issues,” with the intended attendees being high school students and K-12 teachers. We congratulate Dr. Hunt and encourage other faculty members to submit their ideas in the future!

Rural Reimagined Faculty Grant Program Recognizes Dr. Nicole Henniger
Rural Reimagined would like to recognize Dr. Nicole Henniger (Counseling and Psychology) for receiving Level 2 funding ($2,500-$10,000) from our Faculty Grant Program. Dr. Henniger proposed her project titled “Healthcare Provider Attitudes Towards Substance Use Disorder Treatment in Tennessee,” which will use survey methodology to not only “investigate the prevalence and effects of stigma towards drug users” in a sample of Tennessean physical and mental healthcare providers but also potential stigma moderators, “including healthcare providers’ mental models of addiction and experience treating substance use.” Her project will increase understanding of the stigma’s psychological origins, resulting in better-informed training programs for counteracting harmful mentalities and “more effective treatment and support for rural Tennesseans struggling with addiction.” We congratulate Dr. Henniger and encourage other faculty members to submit their ideas in the future!
