We loved celebrating our Tennessee Tech alumni educators for Teacher Appreciation Week! From sparking a love for music and reading to building lifelong relationships and celebrating every student win, these Golden Eagle educators pour their heart into their students and communities every day. We asked alumni to share their favorite part about being a teacher, and as a thank you, we mailed them a Tennessee Tech pennant to hang in their classroom.

A group of Tennessee Tech alumnae recently reunited in Cookeville to relive cherished memories from their college days. Amelia Beard Cohagan, Tammy McCarroll-Burroughs, Laurie King Stone, JoNell O'Connor, Becky Rawls Buckley, Ginny Combs Stevens, Tammy Holt Dillon and Leta Winningham Dalton all once called the same residence hall home -- known as "Unit B" when they moved in back in 1976, and later named M.S. Cooper Hall in honor of Mattie Sue Cooper.
