Miller – Motte Technical College Partners with Sister Schools to Raise $14,000 to Benefit Shelter Box in Jeans for Japan Campaign

Miller-Motte Technical College Clarksville, TN – In light of recent disasters in Japan, the students, faculty and staff of Miller-Motte Technical College (MMTC) created a campaign called Jeans for Japan to raise donations for the cause. Employees were encouraged to pay $1.00 to wear jeans instead of scrubs or professional attire.
