Here are a few highlights from recent editions of The Alumnus:
We invited alumni to get into the spooky spirit Golden Eagle style for Halloween! Whether alumni used these Tech-themed pumpkin carving stencils or created their own Tech masterpiece, we entered all pumpkin photos into a drawing and randomly selected one alum to win some Tech SWAG! To see all the Tech-themed pumpkins, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Homecoming 2025 was a weekend full of spirit and celebration! Thank you to everyone who joined us – whether you stopped by the Varsity Building for our Parade Watch Party, caught up with friends at your college’s tailgate or cheered on the football team at Tucker Stadium. And what a way to finish the weekend – our Golden Eagles soared to victory over Gardner-Webb!

Alumni celebrated 100 years of Golden Eagles this holiday season with a commemorative mascot ornament! If you snagged one of our Awesome Eagle ornaments, thank you for your support of Tennessee Tech! We asked alumni to share photos of the ornament on their tree, and we have loved seeing ornaments show up on trees all across the country. Our ornament hangs proudly next to last year’s Derryberry Hall ornament. Who’s working on completing the entire collection? (If you missed the pre-order for the commemorative golden eagle ornament, it’s not too late! We have another shipment on the way. Email giving@tntech.edu to find out how to get one.)
