UT is holding Faculty Appreciation Week from Monday, Feb. 11 to Friday, Feb. 15. This week of events and discounts is meant to honor the contributions of the members of UT faculty and staff who keep our campus running and educate us every day. Here is a rundown of some things that faculty and staff can expect during faculty appreciation week, as well as some things students can do to show faculty and staff appreciation.

Faculty and staff discounts UT faculty and staff will have access to a number of discounts around campus throughout the week when they show their faculty or staff ID. All week, UT faculty and staff will be offered discounted rates on tickets to see the Clarence Brown Theater’s production of “King Charles III,” a 10 percent discount at the McClung Museum store as well as a $10 discount on McClung Museum membership and a free small coffee or fountain drink at campus dining retail locations.

Additionally, UT faculty and staff can receive free and discounted tickets on Thursday, Feb. 14 for the UT women’s basketball game; free and discounted tickets to the UT men’s basketball game on Wednesday, Feb. 13 and a 30 percent discount on gift and apparel items at the VolShop also on Feb. 13.

Faculty and staff special events In addition to these discounts, the university has also planned a number of events to show faculty and staff appreciation throughout the coming week. On Tuesday, Feb. 12, the McClung Museum will be hosting Coffee with the Curator from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., which offers free coffee and pastries as well as fun brain activities to start your day.

On Wednesday, Feb. 13, Faculty Pub will be held at the Lauricella Center of Neyland Stadium for tenure-track, nontenure-track and retired faculty. This event will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will feature free appetizers and a cash-only bar.

Lastly, there will be a teaching and learning innovation luncheon held on Thursday, Feb. 14 from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom A. How students can show appreciation Planned events aside, students can also show the faculty and staff who work to provide them with a learning environment appreciation in different ways, so here are a few suggestions.

Tell your favorite professors how they’ve made an impact on your life. Educators are seldom in the field for the money, so whether you do so in person, by a handwritten note, by email, or by whatever other method, consider brightening your professor’s days by telling them how much they mean to you.

Make an extra effort to be present and attentive in your classes. We’ve all been there: Maybe you’re too sick, tired or stressed out,

and you skip a period, or you sit in the back and hope you aren’t called on. Throughout Faculty Appreciation Week, however, your professors will likely appreciate if you put in a little extra effort to make them feel listened to.

Send thanks to administration. Whether or not they’re acting as professors anymore, UT administration is a vital part of the school’s body of faculty, who sometimes don’t get to interact with students. Consider sending thanks to your major’s department heads to show them that the work they do is valuable, too.

Thank your advisors, too. Maybe schedule an appointment to let them know you appreciate how they’ve assisted you throughout your college career, or maybe just leave them a nice note or shoot them a complimentary email. Either way, academic advisors are a vital part of the university who work hard to ensure student success.

Don’t forget about university staff, either.

Although faculty are vitally important, so are the office workers, cleaning staff, maintenance, food, retail and every other member of UT staff. Campus workers put in effort every day to ensure students have a clean, functional school with access to food, so be sure to remember them this coming week as well. Say “thank you” to your dining hall and P.O.D. workers, let the janitors know you appreciate their hard work and clean up after yourself and just appreciate the work these staff members put in, too.

Interactive map to visually demonstrate engagement projects ISABELLA DIACONESCU Contributor

The Office of Community Engagement and Outreach at UT has been working extensively to visually demonstrate the outreach and engagement projects the school’s involved in.

UT is one of a few select colleges to earn the privilege of the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification. In 2015, UT got the certificate following a rigorous evidence-based application process that recognized the school’s strong dedication to the fundamental land grant mission.

“We are very proud to be recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for our partnerships,” Javiette Samuel, director of Office of Research, said.

One of the ways the school shows this commitment and proof of extensive outreach and programs is now through a newly designed interactive map. The map will function essentially as a geospatial U.S. map under which software will allow its users to pinpoint a number of engagement projects across the state.

“Anyone will be able to see the myriad of

ways that we engage in research projects or summer camps, such as pre-college summer programs or Stem Saturdays,” Samuel said. “Anyone will be able to click on a pinhead, for example, and see a project title.”

The map will also present a brief summary of the project and the leading faculty or staff member involved along with the title. Progressively, there will be a dashboard with particular colleges or departments to check out developed projects underneath.

The interactive map will additionally lay out the amount of outreach happening in a particular region. “(The map is) a nice way to get to know a bit more about our faculty and the ways they are integrating teaching, research and outreach: the three pillars of the grant’s mission,” Samuel said.

The Office of Community Engagement and Outreach hoped to help faculty and partners potentially attract more grant money based on the spatial placement of projects.

Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research Engagement and director of the Office of Undergraduate Research Marissa Moazen broadened the purpose of the office’s goals.

“As individuals, I think we often get lost in the details of our projects,” Moazen said.

“We see our unique contribution but often don’t have access to the bigger picture. The map will allow both internal and external partners to see the impact our faculty, staff, and students are having within the state.”

When asked how the idea came up, the established director expressed this was a team effort channeling them to focus on addressing the most pressing needs in a new visual way of depicting outreach data quickly and clearly.

The idea hasn’t just surfaced out of nowhere, but has been in the works for over two years, Moazen clarified.

“It has taken time to bring the idea to fruition and we are excited that we are able to bring this new idea to the campus,” Moazen said.

A soft launch will take place in February to make sure areas are adequately represented, but the full launch occurs on March 26 during a Non-Profit Day event.

The development of the interactive map is in its early stages, but for a prospective student trying to find projects to get involved in, there’s a lot to learn, especially from faculty and departments who will share their projects collectively. Right now, the map lends basic information about the project and contributors, but in the future,

contact information could be linked for a more expedited inquiry following an interest.

“The map is currently being populated with active or recent projects. After a few years, we will be able to show a very robust picture of our campus’s engagement across the state,” Moazen said.

People can access the map on a link from the Office of Community Engagement and Outreach website and see the level of interactions across the state from areas including Knoxville, East Tennessee Region, Nashville, Memphis and Murfreesboro in a near ‘real time’ accuracy.

The map is a nice way to get to know a bit more about our faculty and the ways they are integrating teaching, research and outreach.

Rebuilding a legacy: Knoxville College resumes after 3-year hiatus CAT TRIEU Staff Writer

Classes at Knoxville College are up and running again after a three-year pause.

KC is a historically black liberal arts college that first opened its doors in 1877, with former chaplain in the Civil War Dr. John Schouller McCulloch serving as the first president. The institution started out mainly offering teacher-training courses in different areas like theology and the sciences.

After decades of change, including having offered classes for first grade to college level for a few years, KC established itself as a liberal arts institution in 1931.

“As a work college, Knoxville College guarantees financial resources for all students while preparing them for responsible roles in society,” the college’s website says.

“The College is entrepreneurial, collaborative, and emphasizes commitment to social justice and civic involvement.”

Notable past alumni of the college include New York Times best-selling author Michael Eric Dyson, former Alabama State Representative and mayor of Tuskegee, Alabama Johnny Ford and American educator Civil Rights activist Lyman T. Johnson.

However, after a slow financial decline since the 1970s, the college discontinued programs and classes in 2015, having eleven students in attendance at the time.

In July 2017, Dr. Keith Lindsey, former

adjunct professor in biology at KC and Oakwood University, was appointed interim president of the institution.

“I attended an HBCU and I am proud to head an HBCU,” Lindsey said.

Lindsey’s main priority in his role has been to rebuild the legacy of KC by keeping in mind its mission.

“Back in the day, Knoxville College is a school that turned out a lot of educators, a lot of business leaders, a lot of people who were in the arts,” Lindsey said. “(The mission is) empowering and transforming youth, and we are looking at our next generation of thinkers: that is our mission of education.”

Lindsey said that the college’s main goal is to inspire its students to learn through transforming and innovative teaching by being nurtured and having good mentoring.

“That is what Knoxville College has stood for were these past 104 years, and so we are continuing on that mission today,” Lindsey said.

KC opened up applications and resumed classes for fall 2018, enrolling eleven students.

“All of these things that you see and all the things that we’ve experienced is a part of this long term growth in rebuilding the college,” Lindsey said. “We’re doing a lot so I think that it’s good we are able to reach out and have people hear this message and to be able to hear and experience what we are doing. It’s good work, it’s hard work, but we are making it happen, one layer at

Knoxville College is a private, church-related, coeducational, liberal arts institution. Caitlyn Jordan / The Daily Beacon a time.”

Kishia Ruiz, a senior in general studies at KC who is working full-time in New York, is currently enrolled in an online Spanish course. Interested in the fact that KC is a historically black college that was recently reopened, Ruiz applied and was admitted.

“The opportunity to be a part of the reopening and a student at KC is an honor for me,” Ruiz said. “I would like for people to know that classes are being giving. The professors are very nice and professional.

It’s a great opportunity to attend a HBCU that is on the rise and offer great courses.”

With students like Ruiz coming from different parts of the nation like New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, Lindsey believes

that KC is “well-rounded” and has the power to become a force in Knoxville education again. “(Being well-rounded is) a part of education, that it’s not so much that we put into our heads, it’s what we fill our cups with. We fill our cups with understanding different people, different cultures, different religions,” Lindsey said. “Because you’re never going to run into people who always look like you, always talk like you, always doing the same things you do.

“That door of education is actually the door letting you know that whatever that you do in life, you will always be seeking knowledge, gaining wisdom every day.”

The Love Kitchen: Founded on Valentine’s Day, but spreads love all year KENNEDY ELAINE SANDERS Contributor

This Valentine’s Day, volunteers, employees and supporters of the Love Kitchen remember its founding on Feb. 14, 1986.

The Love Kitchen serves over 3,000 meals weekly to the people of Knoxville who are homeless, homebound, disabled and elderly. The building is kept running by donations of time and resources. Volunteerism is at the core of the original mission of the Love Kitchen. The founders of the Love Kitchen established the kitchen on the foundation of service to others and dreamed of an organization that ran solely on volunteers.

This month, prominent local figures hope to help the Love Kitchen spread some Valentine’s Day love. Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs is set to deliver a donation to the Love Kitchen on Feb. 14, the 33rd an-

niversary of the Love Kitchen’s beginning.

He will be donating a large sum of food along with a check for $2,700. Donations like these enable the Love Kitchen to keep their doors open and continue to serve the people of Knoxville who are in need.

Twin sisters from South Carolina, Helen Ashe and Ellen Turner founded the Love Kitchen based on values and ideals instilled in them by their parents. One of their founding values, according to the Love Kitchen website, is that “there is only one race, the human race.”

The sisters were motivated to start the Love Kitchen when they heard of a soup line operating out of a church in Knoxville.

They instantly knew that this would be their calling.

They also rely heavily on volunteers for the day to day operations of the organization. With positions ranging from cooking assistants to lead volunteers to servers, there is always a need for a helping hand.

Sophomore in accounting Denisha Emerson has been volunteering with the Love

Kitchen since the beginning of the semester and goes whenever she is available to serve.

“I really love volunteering there. The staff is very friendly,” Emerson said about her experience with the organization.

Emerson says that she wishes she had more time to spend volunteering at the Love Kitchen because of the positive experience of volunteering at the organization.

“Seeing the smiling faces of those we serve is very rewarding and it’ll honestly make your worst day a little better,” Emerson said.

Inez Royston, the accounting specialist for the Center for Student Engagement, has been in Knoxville since the Love Kitchen itself came here. She recalls the history of the organization well and is fond of their mission and the work they do for the local community.

“I think that it is a very good service that the (Ashe/Turner) sisters did in showing their love for others,” Royston said.

Royston recalls when the Ashe and Turner sisters passed away in 2015 and 2018,

respectively, and is grateful for the legacy that they left behind.

“It’s sad that (the founders) are both gone but great that their legacy is continuing. I’m sure they could use volunteers,” Royston said.

Seeing the smiling faces of those we serve is very rewarding and it’ll honestly make your worst day a little better.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ 3: Disappointing conclusion to trilogy JAKE YODER Staff Writer

“There were dragons when I was a boy.

Where they lived, only a few know. Our story changed the world forever.”

“How to Train Your Dragon” is one of the most popular animated series of the past decade, loved by audiences and critics alike. The series spans two feature films, an animated television series, multiple video game adaptations and countless fans. The series likes to take time between each entry in the main series of movies, with four to five years separating each.

Now that it has been five years since “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” the third film in the franchise is releasing, promising to bring a satisfying conclusion to the story of Hiccup, Toothless and the Vikings of Berk.

With expectations high for “The Hidden World,” does it deliver a good ending to the series or is it simply trying to cash in on fans’ love for the franchise?

One year has passed since the ending of “How to Train Your Dragon 2.” Hiccup has fully accepted his role as chief of the Viking village Berk, creating a Viking-

dragon utopia. Their home is threatened, however, by other Viking tribes who wish to either capture dragons or kill them.

When an especially threatening dragon hunter sets his eyes on Berk, Hiccup and his friends must decide if it actually possible for dragons and humans to live together in peace.

Sadly, “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” doesn’t live up to the rest of the series. This was one of the most cliché films that I have ever seen, which is especially disappointing when the past two films in the franchise were so great.

The film doesn’t give good reasons for any of the events to be happening. There are multiple times where the main characters or the villain could accomplish their goals but don’t, because if they did, the film would only be half an hour long and there wouldn’t be a movie.

The villain is simply a rehash of the villain from “How to Train Your Dragon 2.”

He is incredibly cliché, giving no valid reason for doing what he does other than that he “hates the dragons.” All good villains have a good backstory, but sadly, this one did not.

“The Hidden World” really wants you to be emotional that the series is ending but doesn’t earn it at all. While the events

at the end of the film should be sad, the set-up for them is awful. There is no good reason for the events to occur other than for emotional impact.

The fact that the story is so forgettable and cliché is made even sadder when you look at the film’s animation. “The Hidden World” has some of the best animation I have ever seen in film. Little details such as fire, sand and hair stand out, showing how much time and love the animators put into the film.

The film features great performances by the entire cast, but sadly, no vocal performance could save this film from its story.

“The Hidden World” also has an amazing score by John Powell which is wasted on such a lackluster film.

Overall, “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” is like a shiny new apple infested with worms. It looks great on the outside but once you get into it, there’s nothing but gross disappointment. Even though it features breathtaking animation, a wonderful score and fantastic performances, the awful story of “The Hidden World” keeps the film from being anything but average. Don’t let this film manipulate your emotions; just skip it.

No. 1 Vols use stingy defense, second half surge to overcome Gators CORY SANNING Staff Writer

Tennessee completed a regular season sweep of archrival Florida on Saturday, taking down the Gators 73-61 at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Grant Williams led the way with 16 points and Admiral Schofield tallied 14 as both finished with six rebounds. The win marks Tennessee’s 18th straight, the longest streak in both program-history and head coach Rick Barnes’ career.

Here are some takeaways from the game: Slow start, no problem One of the highest-scoring teams in college basketball, it’s not that often that the Vols find themselves in low-scoring affairs.

They would on Saturday.

Tennessee would not find itself on the scoreboard until nearly three minutes into the opening half, a far cry from its streak of 90-point games just over a week ago.

While the box score may say otherwise, the Vols’ slow offensive start was not a concern for their head coach.

“I thought it was good other than when we got sloppy with the ball,” Barnes said.

“You have to give them credit for that, they stayed with it.”

Defense, defense, defense While the Gators are known for their ability to be physical on the defensive side of the ball, Tennessee is rapidly gaining its form from a year ago as the conference schedules winds down.

Forcing 12 turnovers and holding Florida to just 36 percent shooting, the Vols have now held their opponents to below the 40-percent line in two consecutive games.

“I thought we competed really hard defensively and they put you in a lot of tough situations,” Barnes said. “Overall, we really tried to compete hard (on that end).”

Despite ranking in the bottom half of the SEC in terms of field goal percentage, the Gators rank second in three-point percentage, making an average of nine per game.

Keying in on Florida’s outside shooters from the start, the Vols held them to just 31 percent from that distance.

“On the defensive end, we knew we needed to guard the three-point line,” Williams said. “We knew they would compete

and give us a good game.”

Turner and Schofield spark offense in second half When Tennessee finds itself in a bind late in the shot clock, there has been no better option to turn to than Lamonte Turner.

The same can be said for Schofield when he’s picked up a head of steam.

After combining for just eight points in the opening half, the senior-junior duo erupted for 15 over the course of the final period. Whether it was at the rim or from beyond the arc, Tennessee’s margin widened after Florida used a quick run to cut the deficit to single digits.

“We know that anyone on this team can provide that spark and energy,” Williams said. “We have no doubt in our mind that when (Turner or Schofield) shoot, they’re going to make it.”

Struggling to feed the ball into the post, Tennessee had to rely on its emotional leader to pick up the slack at the rim down the stretch.

With Williams receiving a double team on nearly every touch and Kyle Alexander plagued by foul trouble, it was a strategy Barnes deemed necessary.

“At that point, we were really trying to play through him,” Barnes said. “Whether it was 15-foot face-ups or letting him drive it.”

Tight end Wolf transferring to Georgia, Vols still have depth TYLER WOMBLES Managing Editor

Just a day after adding key depth during National Signing Day, the Tennessee football program lost some on Thursday.

Reserve tight end Eli Wolf announced on Twitter that he will transfer from the program and play his last season at Georgia.

“I want to thank everyone at Tennessee, past and present, who helped me grow on and off the field,” Wolf said in the tweet.

“Special thanks to all of VolNation who have supported me on this journey. I will leave the University of Tennessee with great memories, lasting friendships, and a college degree.”

Wolf, whose brother Ethan started for the Vols and ranks fourth all-time in program history in tight end receiving yards, graduated from Tennessee and would have been entering his final year of eligibility. He made an impact on head coach Jeremy Pruitt during his first spring practice last year.

“When we started spring, Eli probably couldn’t block me,” Pruitt said in 2018.

“By the time spring was over with, Eli had learned to strain and tried to finish and

really done a good job. If we can get everybody to compete and play with the effort and toughness and intensity that Eli was playing with maybe the last seven or eight practices, we’re going to be fine.”

But Wolf split playing time on the field this past season with rising senior Dominick Wood-Anderson and rising redshirt junior and Christian Academy of Knoxville alum Austin Pope. He played in every game but caught just five passes for 30 yards and one touchdown.

He finished his Tennessee career with nine receptions for 86 yards and the lone touchdown.

“I am blessed, humbled, but most importantly very excited at the opportunity ahead of me,” Wolf said in the tweet.

“Thanks again for all your support and God bless.”

Vols have returning options at tight end

The Vols will return Wood-Anderson and Pope for the upcoming season. WoodAnderson had 17 receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns in 2018, while Pope caught one pass for 55 yards.

They also will add incoming freshmen Jackson Lowe from Cartersville, Ga., and Sean Brown from Rome, Ga. Lowe, who has already enrolled at Tennessee, was a

four-star recruit out of high school, while Brown is a three-star, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. “(Pruitt) told me I would have a better shot at being able to play early if I’m able to get on campus early so my body can get transitioned in the way it needs to be,” Lowe told 247Sports in December. “He said everybody’s going to have to work for

(playing time). He just said if I work hard, we’ll see where it goes from there.”

Tennessee’s tight ends also saw action at the fullback position last season when the Vols lined up in the I-formation, which may continue under new offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, as Pruitt prefers a pro-style, clock-management system.

Reports: Vols’ coach Terry Fair relieved of duties, Derrick Ansley hired STAFF REPORT

One of Jeremy Pruitt’s assistant coaches is reportedly no longer with the program, with another coach already mentioned as his replacement.

Cornerbacks coach and Tennessee alum Terry Fair was relieved of his duties by Pruitt on Friday, according to multiple reports. Volquest reported that Fair was offered an off-field job with the program but didn’t take it.

According to other reports, Pruitt is expected to hire Derrick Ansley of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders to replace Fair. Ansley could also be tabbed as the program’s co-defensive coordinator, sources told 247Sports.

Ansley served as Tennessee’s cornerbacks coach in 2012 and also spent time on staffs at Kentucky and Alabama, where he worked with Pruitt. During his time with the Vols, Tennessee’s defense moved up 28 spots in total interceptions compared to the previous season.

He played collegiately at Troy and began his coaching career at Huntingdon College in Alabama. He had two separate stints at Alabama, serving as a graduate assistant from from 2010-2011 and as defensive backs coach from 2016-2017.

2018 was Fair’s first season on Tennessee’s staff, joining the Vols after a three-year stint coaching defense backs at Colorado State. He served as a graduate assistant at Tennessee from 2013-2014 before being hired by Colorado State.

Fair played at Tennessee from 1994 to 1997, garnering All-SEC honors in 1996 and 1997. He was also named to the AllFreshman team following the 1994 season.

Fair spent time as a player with the Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers and then-St. Louis Rams before joining the coaching staff at Phoenix College in Arizona and working in radio in Knoxville.

Fair’s reported departure is the third change on Tennessee’s staff this offseason. Former offensive coordinator Tyson Helton left to become Western Kentucky’s

head coach and was replaced by Jim Chaney, and former safeties coach and special teams coordinator Charles Kelly joined Alabama’s staff. Tee Martin was recently hired as an offensive assistant as well.
