A Note From Alumni Relations

In the words of the late Pat Head Summitt (‘74), “Teamwork is what makes common people capable of uncommon results.” During the past year, the UT Martin advancement team has been hard at work to come out of the pandemic stronger than when we entered it. We have taken this time to implement the UT Martin Telefund program, increase the reach of Captain’s Challenge with a goal-breaking $430,000+ total, and learn how we can better reach alumni who are located around the nation…and even the world!

While we are looking forward to seeing you in person, we will continue to provide virtual programming for alumni who live outside the Northwest Tennessee region. In May, the UT Martin Book Club launches and we will be hosting monthly lunch-and-learns this fall. We are currently looking for alumni presenters for those monthly virtual meetings! Email alumni@utm. edu if interested.

Finally, we invite you to join us for Homecoming 2021on October 9. “There’s no place like HOMEcoming” and we hope to see as many of you as possible back on campus very soon. SEE MORE ONLINE
