The Non-Traditional Student Organization (NTSO) at Tennessee Tech is hosting a Diaper and Baby Wipe Drive to benefit The Food Pantry on Tuesday, March 22, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Help us help our fellow non-traditional students who are also parents by donating new and unopened packages of diapers and wipes. We will be collecting outside of the RUC lower-level entrance.

Researchers generally consider nontraditional students to have the following characteristics: being independent for financial aid purposes, having one or more dependents, being a single caregiver, not having a traditional high school diploma, delaying postsecondary enrollment, attending school part time, and being employed full time (U.S. Dept. of Education, 2017).

ASPIRES is a new federally-funded grant program at Tech that recruits and trains registered nurses and professional advocates to provide care for survivors of sexual assault. ASPIRES focuses on providing forensic exams (i.e. rape kits), comprehensive advocacy services, connection to resources, care in an encouraging and positive manner, promoting a healing environment and addressing the basic human needs of safety, security and increased self-esteem. While the federal grant covers operating costs, ASPIRES hopes that through the I Heart Tech Students fundraising initiative they can raise money to offer additional support for survivors. For example, they would like to be able to provide each survivor with a tote bag that includes a change of clothes, toiletries, adult coloring books, stress balls, coping cards, water and snacks.

The Eagle’s Wing Veterans Center is a 1,028-square-foot space located on the third floor of the Jere Whitson building and is dedicated to Tech’s veterans, servicemembers and their dependents. The “Vet Center,” as it is affectionately known, serves as an on-campus hub where student veterans can get information or assistance with their military benefits, study, socialize, relax or even grab some much-needed nourishment. Support of the Vet Center through the I Heart Tech Students fundraising initiative will allow the Military and Veteran Affairs Office to continue their work of ensuring student veterans, servicemembers and their families have a place where they can find camaraderie, resources and advocacy.

Tennessee Tech alumni are its most passionate ambassadors and loyal donors, because they know that a Tech education creates opportunities, prepares career-ready graduates and changes lives. For many students, affording college tuition without financial aid is impossible. The Tennessee Tech Alumni Association established the Alumni Association Scholarship nearly 30 years ago to help students pursue a college degree.
