    Faculty Success Story: Dr. Mike Gotcher Receives Grant to Provide Free Wifi Access to Rural Students

    Rural Reimagined recognizes Dr. Mike Gotcher for his recent success in receiving a grant to provide 200 TN Tech students in rural counties with free, unlimited Wifi access. Students living in rural areas frequently struggle to establish much needed Wifi access needed to complete assignments, attend Zoom lectures, or be able to download course content. The grant will go a long way in helping students meet their educational needs. Dean Gotcher states, “We wanted to address the digital divide and help students succeed academically. The grant provides a much-needed resource for our students.”  Interested students can contact Dylcia Cowan at  dcowan@tntech.edu to obtain the form needed to receive hot spots. Students are also welcomed to drop in at Southwest Hall, Room 141A between the hours of 8:00 am-4:30pm. Mrs. Cowan can also be reached at 931-372-3366. Wings up!

  • Professor Dale Ensor Presents Seminar on Alfred Nobel- Aug 27 at 3:00 p.m.

    Professor Dale Ensor Presents Seminar on Alfred Nobel- Aug 27 at 3:00 p.m.

    Professor Emeritus Dale Ensor will present a seminar titled “Alfred Nobel: Chemist, Inventor, Businessman, and Founder of the Nobel Prizes” at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Aug 27 in SLH 126. The presentation is for both technical and lay persons. Questions: acarroll@tntech.edu

    Abstract: Alfred Nobel is best known as the founder of the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.  He was a very prolific inventor with 355 patents, a chemist, and a businessman that created an industrial empire in the late 19th century.  He was fluent in Swedish, Russian, French, English, and German with an interest in literature and poetry.  Alfred’s discovery that nitroglycerine could be stabilized using the diatomaceous earth, kieselguhr, and patented as dynamite changed the construction industry.  He once described his greatest weaknesses as having neither wife or children, lacking a sunny disposition, and having only a commonplace life. This presentation will focus on the chemistry and inventions of Alfred Nobel as well as the personal stories that provide us with an insight into his life and the reason for his gift to the world.
