Provost Mickey Latour joins Tech’s “College Town Talk” podcast
Provost Mickey A. Latour joined Tech’s “College Town Talk” podcast this week for a wide-ranging interview. In our conversation, Dr. Latour tells us why Tech was the right fit after an already successful more than 30-year career in higher education, including at universities in Indiana, Illinois and Arkansas.
He also tells us about a memorable first-day experience that captured the spirit of Tech and the story behind a special keepsake in his office honoring his late mother. Later in the interview, Dr. Latour talks about the book he is reading alongside Tech’s deans and the surprising (and selfless) hobby he picked up many years ago that he continues today.
Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Amazon Music and/or the Tech website.
The Provost’s Office has also launched a news page for the latest updates from Dr. Latour and his team.

Parking & Transportation Improvements to Better Serve You
Beginning this week, the university will add a fourth shuttle during peak times and introduce an “express route” that runs continuously between the West Purple Lot and the corner of Stadium Drive and University Drive near the Ashraf Islam Engineering Building, with wait times of less than five minutes. Learn more at www.tntech.edu/parking/shuttles.php.
Additionally, the university will begin communicating time-sensitive parking messages –including construction impacts, temporary lot closures and reopenings, and traffic flow changes for special events – through the Passio GO app, which many of you already use to monitor shuttle locations and wait times.
To use the app, download Passio GO for free in the Apple Store or on Google Play. Once the app is installed, go to “My Agency” on the left-hand side of the app and search “Tennessee Tech,” then click to select. By enabling push notifications, users can receive a message on their phone’s lock screen any time a new parking message is shared.
