STUDENTS NEEDED!
Your attendance at the second annual Stonecipher Symposium
is important. The symposium was created last year as an opportunity for students to meet
with representives from professions relevant to technology, communication and culture. TTU
students will present their own work on this years symposium topic, the Tennessee Valley
Authority, alongside presentations by invited scholars, TVA officials and community
representatives.
This is an excellent chance for you to learn more about the TVA, its past impacts and

forum for you to ask questions and discuss your views on TVA issues.
