It’s the season of giving!
Each holiday season, Tennessee Tech looks for ways to help others — both on campus and in the community. That’s why we are encouraging those interested in making an end-of-the-year gift to consider making a gift to the University Service Center.
The Center provides service learning opportunities that integrate community service with instruction and reflection. Service projects range from stuffing backpacks full of school supplies for K-12 students in need to ensuring that Tech’s food pantry is stocked and staffed for those experiencing food insecurity.
If you make a gift of $25 or more to any campus fund between now and Dec. 15, as a thank you, we will send you a Tennessee Tech ornament.
