We also took field trips to visit the campuses of Roane State, Pellissippi State, UT-Knoxville, and East Tennessee State University. We made our own resume and discussed ways to prepare for the ACT. If you are interested in participating in the Small Talk club, please stop by Dr. Colquitt’s classroom, CS 235, to let her know which day of the week would work best with your schedule. Our first official meeting will be scheduled based on the responses.  (8/7, 8/10) – R. Colquitt
