By:
A total of 12 Tennessee Tech students has made the cut to serve as President’s Ambassadors for the 2022-2023 academic year, including Ethan Jenkins and Faith Judkins, both from Smithville.
The mission of this special campus group – made up of students whose majors vary from marketing to cybersecurity to finance and more – is to present a positive image of the university to all students and guests by welcoming them to campus, answering any possible questions and assisting them with other needs that may arise.
“This is a prestigious program that represents the best our students have to offer,” said President Phil Oldham. “We plan to continue to grow this group to foster goodwill at our university events and partnerships with our community.”
The President’s Ambassadors serve as hosts for special guests on campus, including legislators, donors, members of the Tech Board of Trustees, alumni and more.
Jenkins, who is an undergraduate student in cybersecurity and information assurance, and Judkins, who is an undergraduate student in finance, will serve in the group for the next academic year. Judkins will also serve in a leadership position as the group’s secretary/treasurer.
Tennessee Tech is ranked as a “Best National University” by U.S. News & World Report. The university offers more than 200-plus programs of study, and Tech grads leave with the least debt of all public universities in the state. In fact, based on total cost and alumni earnings, Tech provides students with the highest return on investment for any public university in Tennessee, according to PayScale.

Tennessee’s 2022 Free Fishing Day Saturday, June 11
June 9, 2022
By: Dwayne Page
Tennessee’s 2022 Free Fishing Day is set for Saturday, June 11 when anyone may fish free without a license in Tennessee’s public waters.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency provides the annual free day in hopes of increasing interest in fishing. The day allows anyone the opportunity to try this great outdoor sport to celebrate fishing as a wholesome and healthy recreational opportunity. In addition, children ages 15 and younger may fish without a license beginning on Free Fishing Day through the following Friday (June 17).
The day and week are annual events in Tennessee and are great opportunities to introduce children to the enjoyment and excitement of a day on the water catching fish. The TWRA is among several organizations planning special fishing events, primarily for youngsters. The TWRA annually stocks several thousand pounds of fish for various events.
For a list of the events, visit the TWRA website at www.tnwildlife.org and the fishing page. Anglers and potential anglers should check the events list often since special events are frequently added.
Free Fishing Day and Week apply to Tennessee’s public waters, TWRA owned and operated lakes, and state park facilities. Some privately owned pay lakes and ponds continue to charge during this special day and week. Anglers will need to consult with those operators if there are any questions about a facility.
