September is National Preparedness Month
2022 Theme: A Lasting Legacy – The life you’ve built is worth protecting. Prepare for disasters to create a lasting legacy for you and your family.
This is an opportunity for the Golden Eagle Community to take a moment to reflect and prepare for emergencies and disasters. Being prepared can keep you and your family safe, give you peace of mind, and provide a roadmap for recovery. No greater motivation to ensure your own personal preparedness is needed than the EF4 Tornado Putnam County experienced in March 2020.
Tennessee Tech EHS and PD are continually preparing for the possibility of disaster on campus. To learn more about emergency action plans during specific disasters on campus and be better prepared, visit EHS website Emergency Preparedness.

The Department of Biology is proud to announce that Xavier Jackson, a Wildlife and Fisheries Science major, won second place for his poster presentation at the Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease (GARD) Conference in Knoxville, TN. The goal of GARD 2022, according to the conference website, was “to bring together scientists from across the globe to discuss various amphibian and reptile diseases, organize facilitated discussions on…host-pathogen systems, and identify disease management strategies that can be used to ensure the conservation of herpetofauna species for generations to come.” Xavier’s presentation focused on a student-led surveillance project for the salamander-eating fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, which he and other Tennessee Tech students conducted in Fall 2021 with Aubree Hill, Ph.D. The international GARD conference was co-sponsored by the Center for the Management, Utilization and Protection of Water Resources (Water Center) at TTU, The University of Tennessee, The National Science Foundation, The U.S. Geological Survey, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and many other organizations around the world.
