Congratulations to the ROTC Golden Eagle Battalion Ranger Challenge Team on their 7th place finish out of 38 schools at this year’s Bold Warrior Challenge at FT Knox, KY.

The Bold Warrior Challenge is a 48-hour competition covering 20 plus miles over 15 events across rugged terrain against top Cadets from across Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Indiana for the right to compete at the Sandhurst Competition hosted by the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Your Golden Eagle student-athletes placed ahead of UTK, ETSU, MTSU and Vanderbilt.

Our 11 Cadets (male and female) indeed demonstrated the Golden Eagle drive and determination.

Rural Reimagined (RR) is excited to spotlight Chris Heflin, a Tennessee Tech student who worked has partnered with AgLaunch to create influential developments in agribusiness. Over the last few months, Chris has constructed visual representations of agricultural data from all over the Southeastern U.S. His visualizations will aid farmers and other agricultural decision-makers in seeing data trends and obtaining information. Regarding his research, Chris said, “Working with Rural Reimagined has allowed me to apply the skills I’ve learned here at Tennessee Tech to real-world problems, which has given me valuable experience as I begin my career.” By combining his skills with his innovative ideas, Chris has made a lasting impact on something he is passionate about.

Need a break from studying for finals?  The Introduction to Modern Astronomy I (ASTR 1010) class has created a to-scale model of our solar system that fits on campus!  The sun is located in BRUN 243.  From there, walk around campus and locate 16 celestial bodies (8 planets, 6 moons, 2 dwarf planets, a comet, and 2 asteroid belts) using the attached map.

Collab-O-Comix IV is the culmination of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Professor Kimberly Winkle’s ART 1050: Drawing II course and Professor Tony Baker’s ENGL 4650/5650: The Graphic Novel course.  Students partnered across disciplinary lines, with the English students as writers and the drawing students as artists to create the 4th Collab-O-Comix volume featuring a wide variety of comics.  Collab-O-Comix IV is generously supported through the QEP.

The book release party will take place on Monday, Dec. 5, 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Bryan Fine Arts Building.  A few books will be given away to a few lucky winners (must be present to win)!

What are the impacts of computing on modern society?

Students completing a special topics software studies course will answer that question during an evening of presentations Nov. 30 – and the public is invited.

“Software and computing technology are ubiquitous in modern society and pervade every aspect of our daily lives, but we often fail to consider the effects they have on our lives and our society,” instructor Cyril Focht said. “It’s especially important for those of us creating that technology to understand the impacts a piece of software will have once it’s used.”

The presentations, which begin at 6 p.m. in Stonecipher Lecture Hall 113, will provide students an opportunity to share what they have learned throughout the semester and practice communicating vital ideas with attendees of all technical expertise levels. It’s a first-of-its-kind event for the CSC 4903 class. Questions, contact aldavis@tntech.edu.

“My goal is for the audience to see approaches to thinking about technology other than how it’s created and to gain a deeper understanding of how software affects our lives,” Focht said.
