Larry and Allene Peach
Dr. Larry Peach served in the College of Education at Tennessee Technological University from August 1, 1978 until June 30, 2011. Prior to employment at the University, he was a teacher and administrator in preK-12 public schools in Tennessee. During his tenure at TTU he held the positions of professor, department Chair and Dean of the College of Education. His wife, Allene, was an accountant with the City of Cookeville and supported numerous educational and athletic initiatives at the University. Dr. Peach, an experienced educator, provided leadership in the advancement of both undergraduate and graduate education programs, fostered the development of a doctoral degree in the College of Education and promoted a diversity of regional development activities. The University awarded Dr. Peach the status of Professor Emeritus upon his retirement.
A vital interest of Dr. and Mrs. Peach throughout their careers was their commitment to enhance educational programs for children and youth. The Child Development Laboratory at Tennessee Tech provided this opportunity. It is a unit in the College of Education and operated under the administration of Dr. Peach for many years. Their interest in early childhood education and involvement in the Child Development Laboratory led to the establishment of the Larry and Allene Peach Scholarship in Early Childhood Education: Serving the Child Development Laboratory (CDL). |
