About the Organization
The Tennessee Tech University Parent Association is an organization committed to the success of their students. A number of university administrators realized the need and importance of creating such an organization, and thus the Parent Association was born. The association was created out of a need for a direct line of communication between the university and parents. University officials feel strongly that this positive relationship between the university and the parents will strengthen the student as he or she moves toward graduation.
The Parent Association has recently established its formal Board of Trustees. This board has been established to shape the mission and vision of the organization. However, it is safe to assume that everything the association stands for and promotes leads to supporting students through graduation.
