Following recent active shooter hoax calls at other institutions, University Police Chief Fred Nichols met recently with city and county law enforcement and emergency personnel to discuss ways that Tennessee Tech can continue to be proactive in maintaining a secure campus and protecting students, faculty, staff and visitors.

“It’s always good to look at events happening around us, discuss how our plans work and stay in close collaboration with our local law enforcement partners,” said Chief Nichols following the meeting. “The safety of all Golden Eagles remains our highest priority.”

Collegeside Church of Christ welcomes TN Tech students to park in the east parking lot. We know parking on campus can be challenging at times. We ask that you park only in the 100+ places highlighted in GREEN above. We will do our best to avoid towing or booting, but must save the red zones for our church and Mother’s Day Out program. If you have questions, please contact Clay Wesley (clay@collegeside.org)
