    Rural Reimagined Creates Website for Jackson County Non-Profit

    The Friends of the Charles Ralph Holland Memorial Library (CRHML) is a nonprofit organization that supports the local Jackson County Library by accepting donations, providing volunteers, and encouraging local involvement and support of the library. Rural Reimagined Graduate Assistant Ellie Buckner created a complex Wix site with no charge to the nonprofit—giving the Friends of CRHML a website that served the organization’s needs and reflected their own high-quality work. Susan Randolph, Treasury of the Friends of CRHML, when asked about her opinion on the website, said, “We are very happy with the final product. Everyone loves the website. In fact, we have gotten eight new members and had the biggest book sale yet yesterday!” Ellie’s work has already made an impact for the Friends of CRHML and will continue to do so as more people are drawn to the website. If you or your business would benefit from technical assistance, please contact Ellie Buckner at embuckner42@tntech.edu or complete a submission form on our website: https://www.tntech.edu/grand-challenge/form.php.

Tennessee Tech students competed against students from Middle Tennessee State University, University of Tennessee-Knoxville and University of Tennessee-Martin. In the 43 years of GeoConclave, Tennessee Tech University students have won 20 times!

    Additional congratulations go to the following students: Gabi Burke, 2nd place in Mineral ID; Kaiah Whited, 1st place in Rock ID; E Vigil, 2nd place in Fossil ID; Sydney Beltran, 1st place in Geologic Maps; Ben Lane, 1st place in Hydrogeologic Maps; and Gabi Burke, Kaiah Whited and E Vigil whose team placed 1st in the Rock Bowl!
