Tennessee Tech and Tennessee Titans team up for Learning Lab series
Awesome Eagle and T-Rac welcome visitors to Tennessee Tech's campus.
Tennessee Tech University is thrilled to renew its partnership with the Tennessee
Titans, reaffirming its role as the team's exclusive higher education partner. Together,
they are excited to announce the commencement of the 12th annual Learning Lab series,
hosted at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
Learning Lab events are a unique opportunity for high school students to delve into
the intricacies of an NFL team's operations, getting an exclusive behind-the-scenes
experience. This year's series begins on Oct. 3, with further events scheduled for
Oct. 31 and Nov. 14.
“We are so excited to be hosting this event series again with the Tennessee Titans,”
said Shanna Muncy, director of marketing promotions and events at Tech. “What we love
most is how these events give us the opportunity to show high school students the
various programs and majors that Tech offers that align with the management of a professional
sports team, along with all the behind-the-scenes business work and marketing.”
Muncy added that Tech’s programs in exercise science and physical education and wellness,
as well as sport management, pre-athletic training and business, among others, are
all great opportunities for students wanting to pursue a career with a professional
sports team. Tech also offers several pre-professional degree programs for the health
sciences career tracks, including pre-physical therapy and pre-medicine.
“Tech’s mantra of ‘Wings Up’ and the Titans’ slogan of ‘Titan Up’ just go together,”
said Muncy. “They both convey that if you are confident, determined and passionate,
then these are the two places you want to be – on Tech’s campus and cheering on the
Titans on gameday.”
As part of the Learning Lab series, high school students receive a tour of Nissan
Stadium and attend presentations and question and answer sessions with Titans executives.
Tennessee Tech admissions counselors are also on hand to answer any questions and
interact with the students. The students receive a free gameday ticket, provided by
the Titans, to come back to the stadium for a game later this season. More than 5,000
students are expected to attend the Learning Lab series.
Tennessee Tech is ranked as a “Best National University” by U.S. News & World Report.
The university offers more than 200 programs of study and Tech grads leave with the
least debt of all public universities in the state. In fact, based on total cost and
alumni earnings, Tech provides students with the highest return on investment for
any public university in Tennessee, according to PayScale.
