History of UT Martin
Higher education began on The University of Tennessee at Martin campus as Hall-Moody Institute, which was established by the Baptists of Martin in 1900. The property was acquired by The University of Tennessee in 1927 and UT Junior College was established. UT Junior College became a senior college in 1951. Named “The University of Tennessee Martin Branch,” the college offered bachelor’s degree programs in agriculture and home economics. In 1967, the institution officially became The University of Tennessee at Martin.
Today UT Martin students experience high-quality academic programs, excellent facilities and outstanding faculty members through a primary regional campus in the University of Tennessee System. Fall 2023 enrollment was 6,950 students who came from 90 of Tennessee’s 95 counties, 39 states other than Tennessee and 13 nations. UT Martin alumni currently live in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The university offers baccalaureate degrees, majors, concentrations, and options in more than 150 specialized fields. Academic majors are offered in natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, education, business administration, engineering, and agriculture. Eight graduate degrees are also available in agriculture and natural resources, family and consumer sciences, business administration, strategic communication, education, criminal justice, music education, and sport coaching and performance. Many faculty members are considered among the top educators in Tennessee and the nation by professional organizations and through other recognitions.
Hands-on learning experiences are an important part of the UT Martin academic experience through internships and other real-world opportunities. Besides traditional classroom education, UT Martin Online offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees, including the online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies (BIS) Degree for working adults, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in management degree, an online agricultural business degree, and an online MBA.
Beyond the main campus, regional centers in Jackson, Parsons, Ripley, Selmer, and Somerville, and a new location at Volunteer State Community College Springfield, plus dual-enrollment course offerings to Tennessee high school students, provide broad access to UT Martin academic programs. UT Martin sets a high standard for leadership development and education. The university’s WestStar Leadership Program, with 945 alumni, teaches class members from around West Tennessee new leadership skills and strategies to assist communities.
UT Martin maintains the safest campus environment possible through the university’s accredited Department of Public Safety and ongoing educational efforts designed to enhance safety awareness for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The main campus includes 59 academic and support buildings, including Arnold Pryor Place – a 400-bed campus apartment complex, and Conner Community, which features apartment-style housing. The 96,000-square-foot Student Recreation Center, Barnes & Noble Bookstore, Sodexo Dining Services, the Office of Career Planning and Development, Living Learning Communities, and a modern press box and academic space in Hardy M. Graham Stadium are among the many campus amenities available. The new Latimer-Smith Engineering and Science Building opened in spring 2023 and features more than 130,000 square feet of space that houses the university’s departments of engineering, computer science, chemistry and physics, and mathematics and statistics. Next to the 320-acre main campus, 680 acres of agricultural land serve as research and demonstration space for various academic programs.
The university competes in NCAA Division I in both men’s and women’s athletics and is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. The UT Martin rodeo team, the only collegiate rodeo team in Tennessee, is a member of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.

Chancellor’s Biography
The pathway for Dr. Yancy E. Freeman, Sr. from modest beginnings to becoming the 12th chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Martin is paved with promoting educational possibilities and advocating for those living in difficult situations.
Freeman began his tenure as UT Martin’s chancellor on Aug. 9, 2023, most recently serving as the vice chancellor of enrollment management and student affairs at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, but his connection to that campus and the University of Tennessee System goes much deeper.
In his brief tenure as chancellor, accreditation was reaffirmed through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, an academic partnership was announced with Vol State Community College-Springfield, a $1.5 million Title III grant for the university was secured, and he introduced himself to regional stakeholders through his introductory “Take Flight with Freeman” tour.
A Memphis native, Freeman attended UT Chattanooga as a first-generation college student, the sixth of eight children. He originally wanted to study engineering, but found that he preferred an occupation that worked with people more.
“I thought I wanted to work for a nonprofit,” he said. “I grew up in a public housing facility in Memphis. It was a very poor neighborhood, so that kind of started my aspiration to say, ‘I want to work for the housing authority to improve conditions for families who live in public housing’ or ‘I want to do something like United Way, raising funds and extending help to families who need it.’”
He earned a bachelor’s degree from UT Chattanooga in political science and considered going to law school to become a public advocate.
However, it would take him a while to complete his master’s degree because of a job he was given by UT Chattanooga in a position that would change his career pathway, steering him toward university administration: student recruiter in West Tennessee.
That would not only give Freeman a familiarity with West Tennessee, but it would also mark the beginning of an academic recruitment vocation that would bring him back to UT Chattanooga and, eventually, to UT Martin.
Freeman completed his master’s degree in 1998 – graduating just three days before his son, Yancy Jr., was born.
Freeman was hired for a position at Baylor School, a private secondary school in Chattanooga, where he would work with recruiting and boarding admissions for two years.
He returned to UTC in 1999 to become the associate director of admissions and was promoted to vice chancellor for enrollment management and student success at UTC in December 2017.
In that position, he oversaw the operations of admissions, financial aid and the registrar’s office as well as advising and other student success programs like tutoring and supplemental instruction.
In June 2018, the UTC vice chancellor for student affairs left that position, and Freeman took the position on an interim basis. He would eventually earn that position, changing his title to vice chancellor of enrollment management and student affairs.
Freeman married the former Rafielle Boone, a 1993 UT Martin graduate and a member of the first graduating class of an accredited bachelor’s degree program in nursing at UTM. They knew each other while attending Central High School in Memphis and started dating while he was in college.
The couple have two children: Yancy Jr., who is pursuing a master’s degree at UT Chattanooga, and Camille, who is in her first year at UT Martin.

Academic Regalia
The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were first taking form. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether student or teacher, was the dress of a cleric. A statute in England in 1321 required that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” wear gowns. In the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was a much later development, standardized in the United States in the late 19th century.
An intercollegiate commission, including representatives of leading institutions, met at Columbia University in 1895 and adopted a code of academic dress, which regulated the cut, style and material of the gowns and prescribed colors to represent the different fields of learning. In 1932, the American Council on Education authorized the appointment of a committee “to determine whether revision and completion of the academic code adopted by the conference of the colleges and universities in 1895 is desirable at this time, and, if so, to draft a revised code and present a plan for submitting the code to the consideration of the institutional members of the council.” The committee approved a code for academic regalia, which has been in effect since that year.
The cut of the gown also varies with the degree held: pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degree; long, closed sleeves with a slit in the arm for the master’s degree; and round, open sleeves for the doctoral degree. While the bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no ornamentation, the doctoral gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three velvet bars across the sleeves. A cap is customarily worn.
Hoods are worn by holders of the master’s and doctoral degrees. Hoods are lined with the official colors of the university conferring the degree. The velvet edging on the hood, and often the velvet edging on the gown, represent the candidate’s major academic field. Often holders of the doctor of philosophy degree (Ph.D.) will be seen with regalia in dark blue instead of a color symbolic of their disciplines. Further, the velvet lining on the gown may be the same color as the discipline color of the hood.
Chancellor’s Medallion
The University of Tennessee at Martin Chancellor’s Medallion, designed by Kara Hooper, formerly with the Office of University Relations, and cast by Lugar Foundry in Eads, was presented to the chancellor by the UT Alumni Association. The pure bronze medallion is three inches in diameter with polished raised lettering reading “The University of Tennessee at Martin.” The eternal flame, presented to the university by UT Martin alumni upon the 60th anniversary of the UT Martin campus, is depicted in the center. Inscribed underneath the artwork are the words “Established 1900,” which signify the founding of the university’s predecessor, the Hall-Moody Institute.
Ceremonial Mace
The University of Tennessee at Martin Ceremonial Mace, designed by Alfred D. Ward, is composed of silver, gold plate and wood. The mace is 48 inches long, and a gold-plated finial at the top depicts the UT symbol. Below this, a sterling silver cup form, 6.5 inches in diameter, is engraved with the words “The University of Tennessee at Martin.” The cup also bears the official seal of the University of Tennessee in gold plate with the UT motto, which translates to “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,” written in Latin. On the cup’s opposite side is a sterling silver and gold-plated oval design formed by the letters of the names by which the Martin campus has been known since 1927. The center of the oval depicts the eternal flame, which was presented to the university by UT Martin alumni upon the 60th anniversary of the UT Martin campus. The colors of the university – orange, white and blue – are set around the stem below the cup in rings of gold. The stem of the mace is made of black walnut, and the silver base features the UT symbol again in gold-plated silver. The curved base plate features an engraving of the campus sassafras tree after original artwork by William Nelson, UT Martin professor emeritus.
Academic Banners
The academic banners on stage represent the colleges of: Agriculture and Applied Sciences, maize and gold; Business and Global Affairs, drab and peacock; Education, Health, and Behavioral Sciences, light blue, sage and gold; Engineering and Natural Sciences, orange and gold; Humanities and Fine Arts, white and brown; and the Graduate Studies Program, blue and orange (the official colors of the university conferring the master’s degree). The original banners designed by Douglas Cook, former chair, Department of Visual and Theatre Arts, were modernized by the University Relations creative staff and introduced Fall 2021.
