Donors

In July of 2005, Mr. J. Michael Winchester made a multi-faceted $100,000 pledge to support Tennessee Tech's History Department ($50,000), Baseball Team ($25,000), and Athletics Program ($25,000). Mr. Winchester's long-standing support of Tennessee Tech academics and athletics continues to make a valuable difference in the student experience at TTU. In an effort to continue increasing the Winchester History Lecture Series Endowment, originated in 1998, and ensure funding on an annual basis, Mr. Winchester's commitment to History will supplement the existing Endowment with an additional $30,000, the remaining $20,000 of the pledge will support the Winchester History Lecture Series and the Student/Faculty Travel and Scholarship Fund, while the Endowment balance is increasing. Mr. Winchester plans to complete the $100,000 pledge with five $20,000 payments over a period of five years or less.
