On Friday, March 20 beginning at 7 a.m., campus-wide tornado warning testing will begin. Testing of this system will mean that individuals on campus will hear multiple cycles of the tornado warning messages and the all clear messages throughout buildings on campus. This testing is necessary to diagnose issues with the alarm system and to ensure that the emergency notification systems we have in place are all properly functioning. Testing is expected to last at least half a day and possibly longer. During this time period, you will hear various alarms and/or sirens as well as the public address announcements advising you to seek shelter in your building, followed by all clear notifications.
No tornadoes are expected during this time period. You will not be expected to follow these directions during this testing period. Should the forecast change and severe weather be predicted for our area, we will reschedule the test date and notify all building coordinators.
University Police apologizes in advance for any frustration the testing period may cause. This date and time was selected hoping to minimize the effect on our campus community.
Unfortunately, Dr. Hobbs is unable to appear as planned on March 12. We are in the process of rescheduling her appearance for next year.
Crawford Alumni Center has partnered with Premier World Discovery to offer a unique travel opportunity for Tech alumni and friends. Everyone says the Grand Canyon is a “bucket list” trip. If you’ve never seen the Grand Canyon–or even if you have and want to see it again–we hope you’ll sign up for this adventure and explore the Wild West with fellow alumni and friends of Tennessee Tech. And you’ll see a lot more than just the Grand Canyon! The itinerary also includes the Montezuma Castle National Monument, Chapel of the Holy Cross, Spanish-Mexican Village of Tlaquepaque, Blazin’ M Ranch, old mining town of Jerome, Old West nostalgia of two train rides, and five nights at a picturesque property in Sedona, Arizona.
