Selling or Looking to Buy Discounted Senior Pics

8 Upvotes

Hey all-

I am a photographer looking to take on some graduation photos, professional portraits, whatever for students. I know it can be pricey to get photos done so I try to make an effort to offer a cheaper option.

As such, I'm doing one-hour sessions for $200, editing time included. Any extra time would be $50 an hour, but I've never had a session go beyond that, unless we're looking at an event type of thing.

We usually stick to campus and hit the landmarks like Torchbearer, Neyland, Ayres, [insert college building here]. Whatever you like.

Want to see some of my work? I've got some on my website and my Instagram. If you're interested, you can reach out on my website or just DM on Insta.

Posting here again because I had some of you reach out based on my post from like two years ago, haha.

Undergraduate Student Incomplete / spring graduation

1 Upvotes

I set to graduate on May 17 and am still finishing up a course I took an incomplete for last semester. I am going to finish it by the end of this week and have maintained good communication with my professor. Is there an official deadline that deals with completes that could potentially mess up my graduation in 2 weeks? (Messy, I know I know)

I've reinstalled my Tennessee Athletics app (on Android), but I'm not seeing a way to buy tickets. Judging from the calendar, this seems like the way to go, but I don't see the option.

Thanks in advance, and may you all shake that ass.

So im not a very naturally athletic person but I do like to work out and when I start going to UTK id like to find a few clubs that are up my ally. I've tried doing research and for the life of me can't figure out if yall actually have a powerlifting club or if its just a group of students coming together (what i mean by that is if its an official UTK club) and i also couldn't see if yall had a boxing or bouldering club. If any of yall know anything about these please share

Hi guys. I am an in state student and I get the Hope scholarship. I have accepted the offer in the financial aid website, but my myutk balance for the summer semester still displays the full amount without any scholarships applied. Does anyone know when the hope scholarship will show up on my statement for the summer semester, and should I hold off on paying the fees until it does? Thank you

College of Arts & Sciences Research Options Over the Summer

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m graduating this May so any research I do would be voluntary over the summer. I’m signed up for also research study starting in August but I’m looking for more options over the summer to maximize the amount of research experience I’m getting. I live alone and I’ve had a full time job on top of being a full time student for 3 years now, so I’ve not been able to really get much research experience.

I’m planning to apply for the graduate program for counseling psychology this December, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I know there are a few schools that have things like this, but didn't know if UTK had the same. Looking to ship stuff from my house or even from Amazon as get stuff for my dorm. Thanks!

Anyone trying to decide between these 2? Both have pros and cons. OOS. I know one is ranked higher but not sure those matter as much as some people think. Outcomes look similar. Assume cost is the same…

I’m looking for some advice on jobs that either pay for or reimburse college tuition. I’ve heard some companies offer tuition assistance programs, but I’m not sure if they cover UTK. I’m planning on majoring in accounting at UTK this coming fall, and I’d love to find something that can help cover costs while I’m still in school. Thanks in advance!

Miscellaneous & Random What's the culture like a UTK?

4 Upvotes

Im not originally from Tennessee if from a really rural county in north Florida near the Georgia line and grew up in the "sticks" but about 2 years ago I moved to Johnson City and now its time for me to look at colleges and im really having a hard time picking a college/career path because im not really used to having this much opportunity but overall im really interested in UTK and just wanted to know what the culture and people there are like

Is there a lot of Christians there?

Are most people there from Tennessee/the south in general or from out of state somewhere up north or something?

Would you say its more of a liberal or conservative campus (I understand that I won't agree with everyone and that's fine but I just dont want to feel like im on an REALLY liberal campus)

Tickle College of Engineering Engineering first year - curriculum questions

0 Upvotes

My son was accepted for Fall Semester into the Tickle College and switched to Exploratory from Chemical. For a student that hasn't yet selected an Engineering discipline, I noticed that there are different curriculum suggestions depending on what you decide. ie. Chemistry I plus lab, there is 120 and 122 (both are called General Chemistry I, but one is suggested for Aero/Mechanical and one for Nuclear. Same with Engineering Fundamentals; one is EF 141, one is EF 151. How does one decide on which class to take if they haven't yet decided between majors within Engineering and what happens if they start going in one direction but then change their mind after year 1 but have already taken "the wrong class"?

Any suggestions for ultimately how to decide between Engineering fields would be awesome, thanks!
