  • TTU Percussion Studio Presents: The Haunting of BFA

    TTU Percussion Studio Presents: The Haunting of BFA

    The Haunting of the Bryan Fine Arts is structured both as a haunted house and a trick-or-treating event. While there is no cost of admission and the trick or treat event is completely free, students will be cotton candy this year in order to raise money for next year’s event. There will be seating available for attendees.

    At 6:30 P.M., the tours will begin for families and children. Previously, the attendance rate had not been exceedingly high. Last year, due to extensive marketing, hundreds of people ended up walking through our doors. After that experience, we restructured how we plan to run the tour groups and have streamlined our system. Now, the building is set up to be one continuous loop where no overcrowding will occur.

    A massive detail which sets this haunted house apart from others in the area is our emphasis on the music. Many students who are involved have worked hard to learn pieces of music which are on-theme to the Halloween season. We perform these for the community as a part of this event.

      • At 8:00 P.M., or whenever the families and children stop showing up en masse, we add a few more fixtures to the building to make the atmosphere scarier and more akin to a traditional haunted house. Once this is complete, we will begin the tours for the older attendees at around 8:30P.M. and go until people stop showing up. For questions, contact hkkoster42@tntech.edu

  • Gurusinghe Receives ACS Petroleum Research Fund Grant

    Gurusinghe Receives ACS Petroleum Research Fund Grant

    Dr. Ranil Gurusinghe (Chemistry) recently received an American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Grant. The granted funding will support the investigation of the chemistry of extremely reactive hydrocarbon radicals that play key roles in combustion, pyrolysis, and astrochemical environments. Gurusinghe’s lab will combine laser photolysis, microwave spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations to generate, probe, and characterize radical species inside a supersonically cooled molecular beam. Our results will demonstrate a versatile strategy for characterizing multichannel reaction mechanisms in hydrocarbon-rich environments.

    Wings Up and congratulations on this award, Dr. Gurusinghe. Best of luck with your investigations!
