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. To view the full itinerary or for more information about signing up, visit https://www.tntech.edu/univadv/cac/goldeneagletravel.php. Wings Up Across America!
