Rural Reimagined (RR) is excited to announce and welcome Alex McDonald to The Center for Rural Innovation (TCRI) team. Alex is a graduate student working towards a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She assists TCRI with inferential statistics and evaluates the impact of community economic interventions within our service region. Regarding her internship, Alex says, “I am excited to be a part of a team working to help communities and to have the opportunity to put all my stats knowledge into practice. I’m grateful for the opportunity to get to work with this department and learn more about economic development.” Rural communities will always benefit from the meaningful contributions from various occupational and vocational fields.

Looking for something to do on a Friday night? B.I.T., has you covered! We are hosting our second show of the semester on October 14th, 2022, at 8:00PM, at the Backdoor Playhouse. We do short form improv, similar to “who’s line is this?” where the troupe will perform games based on audience suggestions. We are also an open, no audition troupe so if you like what you see at the show or if this sounds of interest to you feel free to join us at practice anytime! We pride ourselves on being extremely low commitment and our belief in creative expression within the troupe.

We have an Instagram if you want to stay up to date on what we are doing or even if you want to pop in and join our practices! Our handle is @tntechbackdoorimprov

I have also included a QR code to our Instagram as well!

If you have any questions about this event or our troupe, contact me through our Instagram or my email, aksexton42@tntech.edu
