With the beginning of the Spring 2021 semester, Rural Reimagined wants to recognize all faculty who have or are currently working on rural-related research or coursework. If you have received a rural-related grant, are currently working on a proposal for rural-related research, or have included/plan to include rural-based objectives into your coursework, please email Kinsey Potter at sw-kbpotter@tntech.edu. For helpful resources such as secondary data sources and funding materials, visit https://www.tntech.edu/grand-challenge/faculty/research-and-grants.php.

The themes of the meetings are typically combat with foam weapons in both an individual and team-based fashion. Garb is encouraged (e.g. tunics, plain neutral pants, boots, armor, etc.) and can be historically or fantastically based. The club provides weapons for members to use, but feel free to bring your own L.A.R.P. weapon for us to check. All you have to bring is water, gloves, PPE, and an attitude for adventure!
For more information, please email us at ttu.larp.club@gmail.com
We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!
