  • Tennessee Tech’s First Town Hall

    Tennessee Tech’s First Town Hall

    On Thursday, March 23rd, Tennessee Tech’s SGA hosted the first-ever Town Hall! Student leaders from different campus organizations were invited to speak with various campus administrators. These administrators were President Philip Oldham, Lori Mann Bruce (Provost and VP for Academic Affairs), Karen Lykins (VP for Enrollment and Communication), Rob Owens (Chief Diversity Officer), Cynthia Polk-Johnson (VP for Student Affairs), Claire Stinson (VP for Planning and Finance), Chuck Roberts (Associate VP of Facilities and Business Services), and Brian Seiler (Associate VP of Information Technology Services).

    The night began with a mix and mingle where student leaders could converse with the administrators. Then, everyone moved into a time of Q&A. Before opening the floor, the administrators shared campus initiatives they were most proud of. Student leaders proceeded to ask their burning questions. The university’s growth and ways to sustain the growth were discussed, as well as improvements in accessibility around campus. Students also asked what each administrator would add to Tech and suggested ways they felt Tech could improve. The night ended with administrators advising the student leaders on how to make the most of the student experience. The overall consensus was to engage in events, classes, and relationships.

    SGA would like to thank all those who took time out of their day to attend this event!
