  • Fourth annual “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising initiative begins today

    Fourth annual “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising initiative begins today

    Tennessee Tech’s 4th annual “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising initiative begins today! Each year, the Golden Eagle community comes together to support programs that put students first. Previous “I Heart Tech Students” initiatives have transformed student resources like the Food Pantry and Veterans Center. In 2019, faculty and staff came together during “I Heart Tech Students” to establish the Eagle Assistance Grant, an emergency fund for students facing tough times.

    We know what you’re thinking: “I’m a student. I can’t afford to make a gift.” If now is not the right time for you to make a gift, we understand. But if you have a few dollars to spare to help a fellow student, we hope you will. Any gift of any amount to any area on campus counts in the “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising total.

    Can a small gift really make a big impact? It can! Gifts of $5, $10, or $25 can provide groceries for a student facing food insecurity.

    Visit 1915.tntech.edu to see all of the causes featured this year. You can choose a cause that is meaningful to you. Be sure to mark that you’re a student on the online giving form. We’d like to send you a little something for participating!

  • Fourth annual “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising initiative begins today

    Fourth annual “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising initiative begins today

    Tennessee Tech’s 4th annual “I Heart Tech Students” fundraising initiative begins today! Each year, the Golden Eagle community comes together to support programs that put students first, and gifts from faculty and staff make a huge impact! Thanks to the funds raised in previous “I Heart Tech Students” initiatives, the Food Pantry expanded their hours and purchased a refrigerator to provide healthy options for students who face food insecurity. The Veterans Center purchased new computers for student veterans. And faculty and staff were instrumental in establishing the Eagle Assistance Grant which provides emergency funds for students in need. When the March 2020 tornado devastated Cookeville, and when COVID-19 caused many students to lose their jobs, your support made a difference.

    Any gift of any amount made online at 1915.tntech.edu between Feb. 14 and Mar. 28 counts in the “I Heart Tech Students” total. Check out the causes featured this year, and make a gift to an area on campus that is meaningful to you. Visit 1915.tntech.edu to learn more.
