Welcome to Tennessee Tech Fans
from TTU President Dr. Philip Oldham
Welcome to the TTUsports.com website! I am honored to lead an
institution that has such tremendous community support for both
academics and athletics. I hope you know how much our
student-athletes, and everyone at the university, appreciate your
attendance at our sporting events.
We all recognize that college athletics greatly enhance not only
university spirit but also community pride. Our
student-athletes have a proud tradition of excellence on their
playing fields and in their classrooms, and you can take pride in
their accomplishments.
Our student-athletes graduate at a rate higher than our student
body. Several alumni athletes have gone on to compete on a
professional level, attesting to the coaching and guidance they
received at TTU. At Tennessee Tech, we have told our
student-athletes that we want to see a championship ring on one
hand and a college diploma in the other.
Your support helps make that dream possible and keeps the
university’s focus on students. Several efforts are underway
to foster an energetic, state-of-the-art learning environment.
Renovations on the historic Main Quad continue, while the number
and types of Learning Villages continue to expand, offering
students living environments tailored to their specific
interests.
Also, Tennessee Tech has made a significant push to enhance the
university’s academic reputation while intensifying its focus
on education in the STEM subjects – science, technology,
engineering and math.
Your support makes Tennessee Tech a student-centered university.
Thank you for buying season tickets, attending sporting events,
tailgating with friends and wearing purple and gold all year long.
I look forward to seeing you at a game soon!
Phil Oldham
