Alumna Debby Schriver will discuss her new book about the Lady Vols’ history of success prior to a Lady Vols basketball game on March 1.

While traveling around the country for games this season, Bruce Pearl has taken time out of his schedule to visit with alumni chapters.

Pat Summitt and Bruce Pearl. You would almost have to be a space alien not to know about the Lady Vols and Vols head basketball coaches. They’re on TV, they’re in Sports Illustrated, they turn up at your United Way or your alumni chapter meeting. They’re charismatic, competent, and competitive right down to their toenails. And, wonder of wonders, they not only get along, they even like each other.

In the 2008 Summer Olympics, Tennessee Volunteers weren’t just orange. They were also gold and silver. Four current students and 12 former students participated in the games. Collectively, they brought home three gold and three silver medals.
