Come and practice your French on Monday, September 27, from 6-7 pm at Au Bon Pain in the library.  Organized and run by students, French Conversation Hour is open to all speakers of French, regardless of level, and uses games and activities to help everyone get involved.  The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and designed to help you feel as comfortable as possible speaking French.

On September 22, the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs at Tennessee Tech will host a display in the Centennial Plaza to raise awareness to the prevalence of suicide among veterans.

The date of September 22 for the observance is significant. The month of September is recognized as National Suicide Prevention Month and the number 22 is the average number of veterans lost to suicide in the U.S. each day, based on a statistic from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

This event will give visitors an opportunity to mourn the loss of a loved one to suicide, gather resources on how to identify the warning signs, as well as get information on how to reach out if you think someone might be contemplating suicide. A board will be set up for visitors to post a name, photo, or simply compose a message in memory of those who have been lost to suicide.
It is our hope that you will take a moment to visit our display, honor those we have lost, and bring veteran suicide awareness to our campus community. The more attention we bring to this topic, the more we can connect veterans and their loved ones to the resources they need.

Every Wednesday at 2 p.m., we have a pick-up game for faculty and staff at the indoor soccer arena in the FIT.

This is a great opportunity to meet colleagues from different disciplines among our campus. It’s also an excellent workout.

It’s relaxed – we don’t keep score (well… usually), we avoid hard tackles, and it’s just a lot of fun. We have men and women of all skill levels attending, ranging from former college athletes to noobs.

If interested, please contact David Mann (dmann@tntech.edu) or Steve Seiler (SSeiler@tntech.edu). You can also get alerts for pick up games by joining our team – Faculty Pick Up Gamers – through Team App (yes, it is called “Team App”).

We hope to see you Wednesday.
