UT-Martin (TN Kappa) student Kevin Teets was honored for his "Writing on the Wall" project
...received first place in the Co-Curricular Awards Category at the recent Annual American Democracy Project South Conference.
Teets’ project was selected first in a field of seven projects. A symbolic “wall of hate,” 10 feet tall and more than 35 feet wide, was constructed on campus as part of the Writing on the Wall Project, designed to symbolize a dramatic shared community experience of taking personal action to confront human rights atrocities and acts of oppression in society.

Teets said he saw the project successfully achieved at another university, modified the idea to fit UTM and implemented it here.
“It was an honor to be recognized for putting together the project,” Teets said, “but I thank the university community for their ongoing support of projects related to muliculturalism and pluralism. Writing on the Wall would not have been successful without the student participation we enjoyed.”
The “Writing on the Wall” project was sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Student Government Association and Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.
We had the privilege of getting to know Bro. Teets at Conclave last summer. Congratulations, Kevin. Oh, yeah - Great picture. heh.
