New Leadership TTU's Minority Affairs and Black Cultural Center Find New Leadership Tammy Reynolds has been selected to lead the Minority Affairs Office at Tennessee Technological University. Reynolds, of Cookeville, also serves as director of the Leona Lusk Officer Black Cultural Center. She sees the latter as most important. You have to have both.
Students have to grow intellectually and personally.
Both aspects are vital if our students are going to have a bright future. In an effort to see that students do have a bright future, Reynolds has worked toward upgrading the center's computers and has re-established the center's tutoring program, which stopped when the volunteer tutors graduated in the spring. To help students develop an awareness of their culture, Reynolds has approached black faculty, staff and alumni to establish a better networking system for students and intends to expand the center's book and art collection related to African-American culture. Reynolds also assisted in the first Minority Student Weekend program. She embodies both the personality and professionalism needed for the position, and many of our students are already familiar with her, which allows for a smooth transition for everyone.
