Free WiFi
Having difficulty or no luck connecting to the internet to complete assignments either at home or on the road? Then please reach out to the College of Interdisciplinary Studies! Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Mike Gotcher, College Dean, and through a grant he obtained to provide 200 TN Tech students FREE and unlimited WiFi we currently still have 80 devices available just for the asking. Students, and sometimes staff and faculty, frequently struggle to establish much needed WiFi access to complete assignments, attend zoom lectures or meetings, or to be able to download course content. The grant covers the WiFi devices until mid-April so you may borrow the unit now and keep it to complete your Spring semester. Interested parties should contact Ms. Dylcia Cowan at dcowan@tntech.edu. You are also welcomed to drop in at Southwest Hall, Room 141A between 8a – 4:30p. Ms. Cowan can also be reached at 931-372-3366. Wings Up!

Guest Speaker Sara Lowery
On Tuesday, September 14th join us in welcoming guest speaker Sara Lowery presenting a conversation on “Shining a Light on Mental Darkness”. As noted by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health, nearly 1 in 5 university students are affected by depression and anxiety. Sara Lowery was one of those students. In this personal keynote, Sara shares her story in hopes that students can learn how to reach out for support during those dark times and search for the light. Students will learn their intrinsic value and strategies to fighting through the feeling of disappointment, fear, and yes even loneliness. Sara will challenge students to really look around to not only find someone whom they can lean on, but also who might need help finding their mental light. This discussion will take place at 7PM in the Derryberry Hall Auditorium and is presented by the Student Government Association Mental Health Matters Initiative.
