    Tennessee Tech Today – Episode 22

    In this program, Tech hosts and manages a website that is really a one stop shop for those interested in giving their time to organizations through volunteerism or service, or for those that need assistance. And it’s not just for students or staff.  Anyone can take advantage and get involved.

    The national signing day for college football took place recently.  Tech head football coach Dewayne Alexander signed 13 players to become Golden Eagles.  The coach will talk about how the landscape of recruiting has undergone a drastic change, with the addition of subjects like Name, Image and Likeness and the transfer portal, as well as the impact of Covid.
