IT increases Wide Area Network speeds across campus

Information Technology Services is pleased to announce that our Wide Area Network speeds have increased from 45Mbps to 200 Mbps for our academic and administrative circuit.  In addition, the Resnet circuit has increased from 34 Mbps to 100 Mbps.  Both of these upgrades were obtained through a bid process that resulted in a substantial decrease in our internet connectivity costs while providing increased connection speeds.  If you have a question, you may contact jeboyd@tntech.edu

Get Back with Tech this Summer Through Service

Tech aims to live up to its vision of T-E-C-H (which stands for technological leadership, enrollment growth, a caring campus, and high quality). Part of being a caring campus is service learning projects students do throughout the school year. But service does not end with the school year. Tech is leading local service projects in counties close to campus throughout the summer. “Get Back with Tech” allows students and people from the surrounding counties to team up over the summer and help the community. Projects are planned in four counties over the summer months.

River Clean Up July 18: In Warren County, volunteers will work with Rotary Friends of the River on a clean-up of the Barren Fork River from Pepper Branch Park down river to Rocket Park. Breakfast and lunch are provided. Enjoy a 2-mile float and clean up the environment. Fun time for all. Volunteers should bring a life jacket and boats/canoes if possible. Boats and life jackets will also be provided. Work begins on July 18,  with registration starting at 8:30 am at Pepper Branch Park in McMinnville. We will meet at Pepper Branch Park, McMinnville, on the day of the event at 8:30 a.m., and should be done by 2 p.m. that afternoon. Open to staff, students, and Tech alumni or friends.

In Macon County, volunteers will help at the Post-Secondary Education Team to help with basic computer training, resume building and job applica­tions. Five to ten volunteers are needed per shift. Work begins on July 25. The morning shift is 9 am to noon. The afternoon shift is 1 pm to 4 pm.

Please contact the Service Center, 372-6120, or the Center Director 372-3069, for more details and to sign up with your friends for one or all of the dates. Get Back with Tech this summer and make a difference!
