Rural Reimagined would like to recognize Dr. Katherine Hermann-Turner (Counseling and Psychology) and Dr. Jonathan Wiley (Counseling and Psychology) for receiving Level 2 funding ($2,500-$10,000) from our Faculty Grant Program. Dr. Hermann-Turner’s team proposed their project titled “Rural Mothers Birth Experiences,” which uses a qualitative phenomenological mythology study to explore how support systems for “postpartum women in rural communities could affect mothers’ perceptions of birthing experiences, with special attention to birth trauma,” by studying participant’s unique experiences. Their project could help local counselors better advocate and support women’s needs as well as potentially make changes to therapeutic services in rural Tennessee communities “and subsequently to women in rural communities across the country and the world.” We congratulate Drs. Hermann-Turner and Wiley and encourage other faculty members to submit their ideas in the future!

The FIRST Lego League East Tennessee Championship Tournament is Saturday, February 11 in the Memorial Gym.  This year we are expecting 48 teams of middle school students to participate.  That means we need a lot of volunteers in order to make it a successful and positive experience for all those involved.  This is hard work, but I promise it will be fun and rewarding!  It’s kind of like a carnival.  It just kind of springs up out of nowhere, everyone has a great time, and then it disappears until next year.  The kids are so happy and enthusiastic, it is contagious.  You will be amazed at what they can do and by the expressions on their faces.

Lean more about FIRST LEGO League at Tech and see a list of the areas where we need your help here.

I look forward to meeting each one of you and seeing you at the tournament.

Dr. Kris Craven, Tournament Director
