COOKEVILLE – Tennessee Tech is set to promote its next College Town Weekend coming up this Thursday, Oct. 28.
College Town Weekends is an ongoing series from Tech’s Student Affairs division that combines both on campus and off campus events into one list and shares that information with students in various ways, including posters, digital signs, table tents, door hangers and online at tntech.edu/weekends.
For the fifth weekend starting early on Thursday, Oct. 28, events featured include Purple Palooza Halloween Celebration in the Hooper Eblen Center, Spooktacular on Centennial Plaza and Tricks and Treats / The Werewolf Bash at Cane Creek Courtside Picnic Shelter. For Friday, Oct. 29, events highlighted are Cooking on the Square at the Courthouse Square, Pumpkin Pop at Ford Lincoln of Cookeville, Classic Cinema at the Cookeville Depot showing “White Zombie” from 1932 and Drag-o-ween on Centennial Plaza.

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 one of the least debts 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.
