Tech graduate’s love for libraries and theatre leads to estate gift
Scott Muir, `77 speech and theatre, always knew he wanted to be a librarian and fell in love with libraries long before he enrolled at Tennessee Tech. Thanks to a generous estate gift, Muir’s love for libraries and theatre will ensure future generations of Tech students have access to the areas that were so important to Muir during his time at Tech.
Muir said he was inspired by Henry “Hank” Rowan, an American engineer and philanthropist who, in the early 90s, made a $100 million gift to Glassboro State University, a tiny school in South Jersey. Rowan’s act of extraordinary generosity launched one of the greatest explosions in educational philanthropy, and his story has been featured in numerous articles including Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast titled “My Little Hundred Million.” Glassboro State was renamed Rowan University in Rowan’s honor.
Muir held seven progressively-responsible library positions throughout his career and retired from Rowan University as the associate provost responsible for three Rowan University libraries.

Faculty Success Story: Dr. Mike Gotcher Receives Grant to Provide Free Wifi Access
Faculty Success Story: Dr. Mike Gotcher Receives Grant to Provide Free Wifi Access to Rural Students
Rural Reimagined recognizes Dr. Mike Gotcher for his recent success in receiving a grant to provide 200 TN Tech students in rural counties with free, unlimited Wifi access. Students living in rural areas frequently struggle to establish much needed Wifi access needed to complete assignments, attend Zoom lectures, or be able to download course content. The grant will go a long way in helping students meet their educational needs. Dean Gotcher states, “We wanted to address the digital divide and help students succeed academically. The grant provides a much-needed resource for our students.” Interested students can contact Dylcia Cowan at dcowan@tntech.edu to obtain the form needed to receive hot spots. Students are also welcomed to drop in at Southwest Hall, Room 141A between the hours of 8:00 am-4:30pm. Mrs. Cowan can also be reached at 931-372-3366. Wings up!
