CHANCELLOR’S ANNUAL REPORT The University of Tennessee at Martin has much to celebrate. From the perspective of competitive academic and athletic programs, our students, alumni, faculty and staff continue to reach new heights and expand levels of achievement. This edition of the Chancellor’s Annual Report recalls a portion of 2013 and some significant milestones. The report then turns to 2014 when many accomplishments, events and people continued a successful period in the university’s history. Clearly, change is unfolding at UT Martin, and not surprisingly we are all involved in working cooperatively both on and off campus and through our centers in Jackson, Parsons, Selmer and Ripley. I sense a growing spirit of expectation as we adjust to the evolving needs of everyone associated with the university and a growing agenda of changes and enhancements involving programs, services and opportunities for growth. I truly enjoy the challenges and interactions with so many wonderful individuals who reflect the true context of the institution. Please consider the highlights in this report and note the accomplishments and people who make the University of Tennessee at Martin a very special institution. Dr. Tom Rakes Chancellor
