Thank You for Supporting Tennessee Tech on Giving Tuesday
Thank you to everyone who made a gift to Tennessee Tech in Giving Tuesday! We know you have a lot of choices of where, when and how to share your philanthropy, and we are honored that you chose Tech.
During the holiday season, it’s important to remember those who paved the way for others, and that’s what this year’s Giving Tuesday was all about. On Nov. 29, we honored the professors, administrators, coaches, benefactors and friends of Tech who made this university what it is today. And we thank you for keeping their memories alive and providing support so the next generation of Golden Eagles can experience a university made possible (and wonderful!) by Tennessee Tech legacies.

A Unique Thanksgiving Experience
Dr. Rajabali and two of his students experienced a non-traditional Thanksgiving in the TRIUMF Laboratory in Canada. Under Rajabali’s lead, Dakota Moya (sophomore electrical engineer) and Ethan White (freshman physics major), participated in a nuclear physics experiment.
The experiment is based on a very difficult to produce and rare isotope, 35Mg. It was produced using a combination of a very large cyclotron particle-accelerator and a state-of-the-art laser ion source. The 35Mg produced would have existed for a fraction of a second when the solar system was formed. The team measured the particles’ decay and products in the lab using the equipment pictured above – a part of which Dr. Rajabali built through funding from a Department of Energy Grant – to produce data that has never been seen before.
To round out their important work, they managed to squeeze in a unique Thanksgiving dinner of sushi before returning to their experiment. What an exceptional and unique Thanksgiving provided courtesy of Dr. Mustafa Rajabali.
