麻豆果冻传媒 will once again welcome students back to Tennessee鈥檚 college
town with the return of 鈥淪pirit Days,鈥� beginning Aug. 5 and continuing through Sept.
6.
The annual event highlights the deep partnership between Tech and the Cookeville community
with giveaways, campus events and exposure for Tech鈥檚 Golden Eagle Perk Partners 鈥�
local businesses that support the university with Tech discounts or other special
offers. Community members are also encouraged to show their Tech spirit by wearing
purple and gold.
This year鈥檚 Spirit Days will include free, limited edition yard signs commemorating
the upcoming centennial anniversary of Tech鈥檚 identity as the Golden Eagles, a moniker
first adopted by the university in February 1925 and inspired by the Golden Eagles
that were plentiful above the upland forests of the Upper Cumberland region.
Signs are available for pick up on campus at the Crawford Alumni Center inside the
Varsity Building and the University Bookstore inside the Roaden University Center.
Signs are also available at the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce in the
Leslie Town Centre.
鈥淭ech Spirit Days are bigger and better than ever!鈥� said Shanna Muncy, director of
marketing promotions and events at Tech. 鈥淭his event has always been about welcoming
new and returning students to campus and the Cookeville community, but this time we
have another reason to celebrate: the upcoming academic year will mark the 100th anniversary
of being the Golden Eagles. A milestone like this doesn鈥檛 happen often, so we encourage
everyone to help us celebrate by displaying a free yard sign, wearing their purple
and gold, patronizing our Golden Eagles Perk Partners and visiting campus!鈥�
As part of Spirit Days, Perk Partners will participate in an exclusive 鈥淐onnect with
Cookeville鈥� local business fair held on campus. This year鈥檚 event is set for Aug.
22 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The first 50 Perk Partners who register will be considered
for participation. There is no charge to become a Perk Partner and new businesses
are accepted throughout the year. See a list of current Perk Partners and their discounts
at /community/perk-partners.php.
鈥淐onnect with Cookeville is held annually during our Week of Welcome and is a highlight
of the fall semester,鈥� explained Muncy. 鈥淭his is a way for students who are new to
the university and the Cookeville area to get exposed to our local businesses. Many
participants offer free samples and giveaways. The event is a win-win for our students
and Perk Partners alike.鈥�
