On Thursday, December 3rd, the TTU Percussion Club is teaming up with local non-profit, Upper Cumberland Foster Closet, to host a donation drive. This event will be from 3:00pm – 5:00pm at Centennial Plaza and will feature live Christmas music by the TTU Percussion Ensemble.

When children are placed in a foster home, they often arrive with only the clothes on their backs. While financial assistance is provided, sometimes there is a delay between accepting children and receiving funds to help support them. The Upper Cumberland Foster Closet attempts to bridge this gap. UCFC acts as a resource that foster families can quickly visit upon receiving a placement and get items these children need such as: clothing, shoes, car seats, and other basic needs, free of charge. Through the generous donation of these items from our local community, foster families will be able to use their own resources in other ways while the children are in their homes.

Needed Donation Items:
Clothes for kids and teens, booster seats / car seats, newborn diapers or pull-ups, new packs of underwear/panties, new packs of socks, backpacks, bunk beds, baby carriers, diaper cream, toothbrushes, lunchboxes, and *cash donations* (preferred).

Giving Tuesday is an international day of giving celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year.  This year, Tech’s Giving Tuesday will feature University Archives & Special Collections.

Walking into University Archives is like stepping back in time. It’s a view into the Tennessee Tech of the past. Comprised of more than 3,300 cubic square feet of manuscripts, photographs, and archives from Tennessee Tech and the Upper Cumberland, Archives makes materials accessible digitally and on site. But what University Archives has done for the Golden Eagle community in 2020 is remarkable. From helping the Mar. 3 tornado survivors recover and restore lost items to documenting the COVID-19 pandemic, they are a valuable resource for Tech and the Upper Cumberland.

Join us on Dec. 1 in saying thanks for everything they do to help our students, alumni and community. We recognize many nonprofits are participating in Giving Tuesday this year. But if supporting Tech is on your mind, we hope you’ll consider a gift to University Archives & Special Collections to ensure Tech’s history is preserved for the Golden Eagles of tomorrow.

The Student Involvement & Leadership is sponsoring an angel tree again this year.  The ornaments are ready for selection.  Register your ornament at the Information Desk in the RUC Lobby.

Thanks for your support of our angel tree project.

Tennessee Tech students voted to include a drive for the food pantry as part of this year’s Homecoming activities. Student organizations compete to see who can raise the most money for the pantry, and alumni, donors, and the entire Golden Eagle community are invited to join Tech students in this campaign. Donors can choose to have their gift to the pantry benefit a campus organization or residence hall in the Homecoming competition if they wish, or they can simply make a gift on their own. If you feel led to donate to this campaign today Tuesday November 10, please visit giving.tntech.edu
