Phi Epsilon Kappa, national fraternity for Exercise Science is hosting “Light the Night”,  Thursday April 7th from 7:30-9:30 P.M. on the Quad.

This event is a glow walk to raise awareness of National Donate Life Month which was established in 2003. Observed in April each year, National Donate Life Month helps raise awareness about donation, encouraging Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation. We are also raising funds in support of Mrs. Turnbow, PEK member and lecturer in Exercise Science, who received a liver donation in February. Free T-shirts to the first 250 students who present a Tech ID. Glow paint and bottled water are also free while supplies last. There will be concessions, several raffles for prizes—big and small—a photo booth, black lights, glow sticks, and more. This event is open to students, faculty, staff, and the public. All proceeds go to Mrs. Turnbow. We hope you can join us!

Contact Barrett Streeter (bmstreeter42@tntech.edu) or Dr. Killman (CKillman@tntech.edu) if you have any questions or would like to donate.

Tennessee Tech Athletics is home to more than 300 student-athletes representing 14 varsity sports. This proud tradition is a century in the making. Your support through the I Heart Tech Students fundraising initiative allows Tech Athletics to provide student-athletes with an incredible academic and athletic experience. As Tech Athletics prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary, we hope you will get your Wings Up because there are many projects that will benefit from your gift. Hiring additional tutors, providing nutritional support to all teams, supplementing the softball and baseball complex improvements, adding to the golf short-game facility construction and providing equipment and resources for the cross country and track recovery room are just a few of the projects worthy of your support.

The Non-Traditional Student Organization (NTSO) at Tennessee Tech is hosting a Diaper and Baby Wipe Drive to benefit The Food Pantry on Tuesday, March 22, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Help us help our fellow non-traditional students who are also parents by donating new and unopened packages of diapers and wipes. We will be collecting outside of the RUC lower-level entrance.

Researchers generally consider nontraditional students to have the following characteristics: being independent for financial aid purposes, having one or more dependents, being a single caregiver, not having a traditional high school diploma, delaying postsecondary enrollment, attending school part time, and being employed full time (U.S. Dept. of Education, 2017).

ASPIRES is a new federally-funded grant program at Tech that recruits and trains registered nurses and professional advocates to provide care for survivors of sexual assault. ASPIRES focuses on providing forensic exams (i.e. rape kits), comprehensive advocacy services, connection to resources, care in an encouraging and positive manner, promoting a healing environment and addressing the basic human needs of safety, security and increased self-esteem. While the federal grant covers operating costs, ASPIRES hopes that through the I Heart Tech Students fundraising initiative they can raise money to offer additional support for survivors. For example, they would like to be able to provide each survivor with a tote bag that includes a change of clothes, toiletries, adult coloring books, stress balls, coping cards, water and snacks.

The Eagle’s Wing Veterans Center is a 1,028-square-foot space located on the third floor of the Jere Whitson building and is dedicated to Tech’s veterans, servicemembers and their dependents. The “Vet Center,” as it is affectionately known, serves as an on-campus hub where student veterans can get information or assistance with their military benefits, study, socialize, relax or even grab some much-needed nourishment. Support of the Vet Center through the I Heart Tech Students fundraising initiative will allow the Military and Veteran Affairs Office to continue their work of ensuring student veterans, servicemembers and their families have a place where they can find camaraderie, resources and advocacy.

Tennessee Tech alumni are its most passionate ambassadors and loyal donors, because they know that a Tech education creates opportunities, prepares career-ready graduates and changes lives. For many students, affording college tuition without financial aid is impossible. The Tennessee Tech Alumni Association established the Alumni Association Scholarship nearly 30 years ago to help students pursue a college degree.

Tech’s student media tell the stories of campus and provide excellent hands-on learning experiences in journalism. The student-run newspaper, magazine, radio station, television station and yearbook offer students the chance to gain practical skills for their future careers. The Golden Eagle Media Fund was established to support paid positions on the student media so that students can participate while earning pay to cover their college living expenses.

The Whitson-Hester School of Nursing asks the Golden Eagle community to support the Nursing Student Scholarship and Nursing Student Emergency Fund.

We need nurses now more than ever!
