Welcome!

We could call this blog, "Thoughts from the Director," but I'm hoping it will include much more. The faculty and staff at Tennessee Tech's School of Agriculture want to keep our connections with alumni, community and other supporters open and alive! Our intent is to post a few newsworthy points each month on this site. Hopefully you will subscribe and visit regularly!

We are looking forward to a great year with continued growth and excellence!

The First Day


I survived the first day! Doesn't sound too impressive does it? But I wanted the first day of my second semester at Tennessee Tech to go well. And it did! Everyone seemed to make it to their classes and it did not rain, and our classes are full--of course we could always use a little more capital, but what's new with that?

We welcomed our students back with homemade cookies and lots of smiles! It seems like our class numbers are also growing. For example, the Introductory Animal Science class filled some time ago and we added another section on Tuesday nights. Today I had 52 students in section 1 and the roll says Dr. Greene will have 32 tomorrow night! Even Soils (which is notorious for being a difficult class) is full!
I think that this what comes from having an enthusiastic and talented faculty and staff. Students can always tell when people sincerely want them to succeed.

Notice we lost a few cookies to faculty passing by...."Caught 'ya Dr. Best!"
