In the days when Tennessee Tech University was known as Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, administrators and faculty would meet arriving students at the train depot in downtown Cookeville and walk with them a few blocks north to TPI's small campus. From a few hundred students in a town of a couple thousand people, Tennessee Tech now has 12,000 students in a town of 31,000. Cookeville and Tennessee Tech have grown up together.

To celebrate Tech's 100th birthday and to thank the community for helping make Tech what it is today, this Friday the university will stage a "Centennial Walk" from the university down Dixie Avenue to Dogwood Park in downtown Cookeville, led by the marching band, and then host a free birthday party for the entire community. At Dogwood Park, there will be live music, birthday cake, theater, awards, and "a few surprises."

Festivities at Dogwood Park begin at 5pm with a reception for a new exhibit at the adjacent Cookeville History Museum on the history of Tech. The parade won't leave Tech until 6:30. The Kick-Off Show starts at 7. Among the acts performing at the kick-off show are the Tech marching band, the Faculty Jazz Ensemble, the men's a cappella choir, and other musical, theater, and dance performances.
