People and Programs That Paint the UT Experience

— a textured story of creativity and accomplishment

It's held its course through wars, depressions, revolutions, explorations, and epiphanies. It's played a role in the making of Rhodes Scholars, Pulitzer Prize winners, and Nobel laureates. It's created academic programs of major significance. It's built athletic dynasties. It's provided tens of thousands of students with scholarships. It's been a consultant to presidents, economists, scientists, engineers, and artists. And now it's on a course to becoming a global community: knowledgeable and creative, diverse in its pursuits and enthusiasms, profoundly committed to making a difference in the future of the world, and doing something about it.

Below are a few of the many stories that make up the University of Tennessee.
