Okay guys, here is something to get behind. I know the AD resignation is the current hot news, but we have a project in progress to put blue Tech banners around Ruston before spring. This is an initiative by the local Tech support group, Louisiana Tech Marketing dept, and the City of Ruston - adds to the Code Blue push from this past fall. The more banners that can be bought, the "bluer" Ruston will look. What a great time to claim Ruston as "Tech's Town"!!
If you want to purchase a banner for this project each $50 will put one on a pole. Send or make an online donation at the Louisiana Tech Foundation - Banner Project.
Picture the banners on I-20 as you approach Tech Drive exit from east and west, walking or driving through downtown seeing the Tech banners on poles around every corner, etc. The banners to be used will each have a tenet of Tech on them (except for the I-20 banners).
The 12 Tenets of Tech are as follows:
Confidence (confisio) - A sense of self.
Excellence (bonitas) - Appreciation for first-rate experiences.
Commitment (commendo) - Accept responsibility as a citizen of the University.
Knowledge (agnitio) - Understanding of ideas based on actual experiences.
Integrity (integritas) - Ability to defend, evaluate, or question one's own beliefs.
Respect (adsurgo) - Acknowledgment of others' beliefs through personal interactions.
Leadership (ductus) - Guidance through service, involvement, and mentoring.
Loyalty (fides) - Faithfulness to values, commitments, and responsibilities.
Enthusiasm (studium) - Excitement for personal characteristics and future opportunities.
Caring (affectus) - Affinity for beauty, performing arts, and human culture.
Hope (spes) - Belief in future experiences and growth opportunities.
Pride (spiritus) - A sense of self-respect.
We elected to not put the Latin tenet so the non-Tech folks would understand ...
