Tennessee Tech University

To welcome President Phil Oldham, his wife, Kari, and their two children to our awesome campus, all students, staff and faculty are invited to meet and mingle with our new president and his family in the Tech Pride Room on Thursday, July 12, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Stop in to enjoy some casual time and light refreshments with the Oldhams and the rest of the campus community as we welcome our new president.

The Tennessee Board of Regents gave unanimous approval at the beginning of May to Chancellor John Morgan's recommendation of Dr. Philip Oldham as the next president of Tennessee Tech University.

Oldham will become the university's ninth president, and he will take office July 1, 2012.
