The Tennessee chapter of the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME) is issuing a call for proposals for the chapter’s 2nd annual conference, to be held July 15, 2022, on the campus of Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, Tennessee. We invite traditional presentations, panel discussions, and poster presentations on research, scholarly, classroom, or community activity related to our conference theme. Deadline for submitting proposals is 11:59 p.m. CST on April 30, 2022. To submit a conference proposal, link here and complete the form.

Join the counseling on Thursday, April 21st to learn more about counseling and counseling services! You’ll see us in the RUC lobby from 1:00 – 2:00pm with information about counseling and fun prizes. If you have any questions, please contact the Counseling Center at 931-372-3331.

The University Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. Dan Allcott, will perform its final concert of the year “Drums and Rock n Roll” on Tuesday evening April 19th at 7:30 p.m. at the Bryan Fine Arts Center. Allcott will also appear as electric cello soloist in a special arrangement of “Crazy Train”, the rock song made famous by Ozzy Osbourne on his solo debut album in 1980. In addition to the string section, Allcott will receive backing from a rhythm section featuring freshman bass player Sam Woerdeman and senior percussionist Jazzy Jones.

The concert will open with the “Drumroll” Symphony by Austrian composer Franz Josef Haydn written in 1795. “Like Crazy Train, the Haydn symphony is a lot of fun, and will include some special work on Timpani by Jazzy Jones, and a spritely violin solo in the slow movement played by our concertmaster, Aniza Moore” says Allcott.

The concert is free and open to the public.

The University Orchestra is an all-student ensemble featuring music majors and students from the general student population across the campus who have experience performing on orchestral instruments.  For more information contact Professor Allcott at dallcott@tntech.edu

Nominations are now being accepted for the Tech Togetherness Awards sponsored by the Office of the Provost. The goal of Tech Togetherness is to bridge the gaps and create stronger relationships across administrators, faculty, staff, and the Tech community at large. As we wrap up another academic year, we want to acknowledge those who have helped us remain together in spirit and who have embodied the Wings Up Way.

If you know of an employee who: is encouraging or has initiative; is a team player; goes the extra mile to find solutions; builds better relationships by standing in the gap; or is simply considered an unsung hero, please consider nominating them for the Tech Togetherness Awards. All regular full-time and part-time Tennessee Tech employees are eligible for nomination. Any Tech employee, student, or friend of the university may nominate by filling out this online application.  Nominations close May 13, 2022.
