September is Suicide Awareness Month. Tech’s Department of Military and Veterans Affairs would like to bring awareness to the national statistic, which states that, on average, 22 veterans commit suicide every day. This Thursday, September 22, 2022, from 11:00am – 1:30pm, we will have a memorial set up in Centennial Plaza to honor individuals who have become a part of this statistic. We encourage everyone to stop by. If you know someone you would like to memorialize, you may add their name to our memorial board. In addition, we will have information available on suicide prevention provided by Veterans Affairs and the TN Tech Counseling Center. For questions, contact lnotman@tntech.edu.

The first IMPACT TTU meeting of the semester will be on Thursday, October 13th at 11am in Bartoo Hall, Room 117!

Rural Reimagined is excited to announce that it will be granting over $150,000 to TN Tech faculty members to help support rural-related projects! Involving faculty in the efforts to serve our rural communities perpetuates generations of impact as it educates and inspires their students to do the same. Regarding the importance of partnering with TTU faculty, Grand Challenge Committee faculty chair Dr. Jeff Boles states, “Faculty-led projects that examine and propose solutions to challenges in rural communities provide students an additional educational experience, one that also has the potential to culturally enrich their lives. Involvement in TTU’s Grand Challenge helps create the Tech of tomorrow.” Currently, Rural Reimagined is developing an application and peer reviewed proposal process. If you are a TTU faculty member that would like to be considered a recipient, please expect another announcement via Tech Times for our application. We are excited to hear about your vision for our rural communities and continue our mission through you!
