Can you believe Thanksgiving is coming up next week?\u00a0 Where has the semester gone? \u00a0I would like to wish our students, faculty, and staff a very Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for all you do for UTC.\u00a0 Together with our alumni and community partners, every one of you defines UTC.\u00a0 Collectively, we impact the lives of our current students, future generations of scholars, and the communities we serve.\u00a0 I hope everyone has the opportunity to enjoy several fun-filled days with family and friends during the Thanksgiving break.\u00a0 When we return to campus on Monday, December 2, the end of the fall semester is only days away.\u00a0 Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n

One important measure of the quality of our programs is the accomplishments of our students after graduation. \u00a0Colleen Ryan, a 2015 alumna of our School of Education and a former Chancellor\u2019s Ambassador, was selected as the 2019 Toyota Family Teacher of the Year by Toyota and the National Center for Families Learning.\u00a0 Colleen and another UTC School of Education graduate, Brittany Harris, purchased a school bus and transformed it into a classroom for the community, coined \u201cThe Passage.\u201d Colleen, a kindergarten teacher at Rivermont Elementary School in Chattanooga, received a $20,000 grant to continue her mobile classroom family literacy efforts.<\/p>\n

A second UTC School of Education graduate, Dr. LeAndrea Ware, executive principal at The Howard School in Chattanooga, was recently named the Tennessee Principal of the Year. \u00a0Dr. Ware will be the commencement speaker for our undergraduate commencement ceremony on Saturday, December 14, 2019. \u00a0What tremendous honors for our alumni and the faculty and staff in our School of Education program! \u00a0Congratulations!<\/p>\n

The Safe Zone Program inspires a supportive environment for members of the LGBTQQIA campus community by providing education, resources, and advocacy regarding gender and sexual diversities.\u00a0 Safe Zone Aspiring Ally training sessions, which help participants learn to create a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ members by providing education, resources, and advocacy, are scheduled for Thursday, November 21, and Monday, December 16.\u00a0 You can find additional information about the Safe Zone at https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/dean-students\/safezone\/index.php<\/a>.<\/p>\n
