Meet and Greet to follow alum David Nicholas’s presentation Thurs, Apr. 29
A meet-and-greet session for faculty will follow Tech alum David Nicholas’s presentation this Thursday, April 29. The presentation will be at 11 a.m. in Room 113 of the Stonecipher Lecture Hall (SLH), and the meet-and-greet will be from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Laboratory Science Commons Building, Room 3331. The Office of Research and Economic Development and the Chemical Engineering Department are hosting the event. Nicholas, CEO of Earth Science Laboratories in Rogers, Arkansas, will be discussing ESL’s research and development ventures. ESL has found that a unique chemical composition accounted for many distinctive features of its products and is now the basis of the company’s rapidly growing technology platform. ESL is exploring opportunities for collaborative research as the company sees many opportunities for the chemistry that are outside its founding expertise in water treatment. For more information, contact Sandy Storie (sstorie@tntech.edu or 931-372-6756).

Wear Denim on Wednesday to Raise Awareness!
Join the Women’s Center, Counseling Center, and Project AWAKEN in raising awareness of sexual assault by participating in Denim Day on Wednesday, April 28th! All you have to do is wear denim, share a picture on social media, and tag us for a chance to win a prize!
Why denim? Denim Day was originally triggered in the late 90s when a teenager who was sexually assaulted by her driver’s training instructor was blamed for her assault since she was wearing tight jeans. Denim Day started internationally in response to this case; wearing jeans annually on Denim Day has become a symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.
