The Office of Communications & Marketing congratulates the winners of the 2025 Spirit Days decorating competition! With the forthcoming dedication of “Wilmore Way,” this year’s contest included an outer space theme. First place was awarded to the Millard Oakley STEM Center, second place to the College of Agriculture & Human Ecology and third place to the Office of the President. The “fan favorite” award went to The Post. Thanks to everyone who participated for a spirited start to the semester!

Congratulations and welcome new Honors Program Director, Lindsey Roberts, and new Administrative Services Coordinator, Rachel Ickes! Lindsey started in the Honors Program as a student and helped shape the program as Program Coordinator and Interim Director before taking the helm as Director on July 1. Rachel is new to Tennessee Tech and is already a welcome addition to the team since joining the program in the spring semester. They both are committed to strengthening leadership, growing research, and connecting the community through service and civic engagement. Lindsey and Rachel are excited to continue working with Tech students, faculty, and staff!

Several Tennessee Tech University Police Officers recently completed the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course, taught by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). TECC training prepares officers to provide life-saving care in high-risk situations before EMS arrives, enhancing the department’s readiness to respond to critical incidents and better protect the campus community.

Chief Fred Nichols and Captain Mark Hillis of the Tennessee Tech University Police Department attended the Tennessee Higher Education Commission’s Campus Safety Conference held at TSU’s Avon Williams Campus. The event brought together law enforcement and campus safety professionals from across the state to collaborate on strategies to enhance safety and emergency preparedness on college campuses.
