Rural Reimagined Faculty Recognition Fall 2021: Call to Faculty
Since the implementation of the Grand Challenge: Rural Reimagined in March 2019, over $3 million in rural-related grants have already been activated. As the Fall 2021 semester approaches, Rural Reimagined wants to recognize all TN Tech faculty who have or are currently working on rural-related projects, coursework, or research. If you have received a rural-related grant, are working on any rural-related proposals or research, or plan to have rural-related objectives in your coursework, please email Kinsey Potter at sw-kbpotter@tntech.edu so that we can recognize your work in supporting the success of our surrounding rural areas. For helpful resources such as secondary data sources and funding materials, visit https://www.tntech.edu/grand-challenge/faculty/research-and-grants.php. We look forward to sharing your important work to both recognize its impact on our rural areas and to encourage our campus community to be involved in transforming rural living. Wings up!
Rural Reimagined congratulates Chemical Engineering professor Dr. Pedro Arce for promoting the development of the “New Type of Engineer:” Holistic, Innovative, Social, Impactful, and with an Entrepreneurial Mindset. Dr. Arce has dedicated the bulk of his career to identifying the best practices, models, and guidelines to assist in transforming the traditional engineering curriculum with the goal of forming new facilitators of learning, effectively leading to the new type of engineer. Rural Reimagined congratulates his effort, along with the College of Engineering, to develop interest in offering various opportunities for students to grow through entrepreneurial mindset programs within both the university sector and our surrounding rural areas.

Dear campus community,
At this point of the semester we are probably all a little exhausted and tired. The students of PC4970/5970 have prepared a video compilation, sharing some things with you that keep them happy and sane during these challenging times.
We hope to brighten your day with this fun project.
Take care of yourselves, finish strong and have a great summer!
