The Friends of the Charles Ralph Holland Memorial Library (CRHML) is a nonprofit organization that supports the local Jackson County Library by accepting donations, providing volunteers, and encouraging local involvement and support of the library. Rural Reimagined Graduate Assistant Ellie Buckner created a complex Wix site with no charge to the nonprofit—giving the Friends of CRHML a website that served the organization’s needs and reflected their own high-quality work. Susan Randolph, Treasury of the Friends of CRHML, when asked about her opinion on the website, said, “We are very happy with the final product. Everyone loves the website. In fact, we have gotten eight new members and had the biggest book sale yet yesterday!” Ellie’s work has already made an impact for the Friends of CRHML and will continue to do so as more people are drawn to the website. If you or your business would benefit from technical assistance, please contact Ellie Buckner at embuckner42@tntech.edu or complete a submission form on our website: https://www.tntech.edu/grand-challenge/form.php.

Golden Eagles! The Women’s Center invites to you to come out and help us celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a free film screening of the film Dolores!

The screening is on Tuesday, September 27th at 6:00 PM in Stonecipher Hall Room 126.

The film follows the life of Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers’ Union with Cesar Chavez. From IMDB, “Dolores Huerta bucks 1950s gender conventions by starting the country’s first farm worker’s union with fellow organizer Cesar Chavez. What starts out as a struggle for racial and labor justice, soon becomes a fight for gender equality within the same union she is eventually forced to leave.” Contact hrhoward43@tntech.edu for questions.

September is Suicide Awareness Month. Tech’s Department of Military and Veterans Affairs would like to bring awareness to the national statistic, which states that, on average, 22 veterans commit suicide every day. This Thursday, September 22, 2022, from 11:00am – 1:30pm, we will have a memorial set up in Centennial Plaza to honor individuals who have become a part of this statistic. We encourage everyone to stop by. If you know someone you would like to memorialize, you may add their name to our memorial board. In addition, we will have information available on suicide prevention provided by Veterans Affairs and the TN Tech Counseling Center. For questions, contact lnotman@tntech.edu.
