Honors in Action

We have researched the theme, "Stories of Persistence, Resilience, Healing, and Sorrow," which asks how such stories can provoke and inspire us to develop resilience in the face of difficulty.  Our research revealed that the elderly population in Tennessee is increasing significantly and that older adults can become socially isolated which increases health risks.  

We are engaged in a community action project, Inspiring Generations, in which we are interviewing residents at the Blake Senior Living.  They are serving as our mentors, telling us their life stories of overcoming obstacles, which we will record and compile for inclusion in the Basler Library Tennessee History:  Reclaiming the Past database.  These stories will inspire us and anyone who reads them now or in the future.  If you are interested in helping, come to our first PTK Member Meeting on September 30, 2024, from 1:30-2:30 in L226.

College Project: Help Us Help You!

This year, we are working with Dr. McCord, Student Success, and Student Life on a proposal for a new outdoor area for students that we are calling "The Porch at Basler Library."  We hope to create a sense of "student soul" with this space, leaving portions of our personalities behind through what we help to build, both conceptually and physically.  Our personalities will become evident in the feeling of this new space, making the campus a home away from home for students who gather there.
