The Role of Private Support at UT
The University of Tennessee is experiencing great positive momentum.
The university has achieved the long-awaited goal of a $1 billion dollar endowment.
Our partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory is something no other university can match.
Our biofuels initiative and the new supercomputing grant are real difference-makers.
Our campuses are attracting better and better students, who’ll become the leaders of tomorrow.
Our researchers are doing work that makes Tennesseans healthier, and our outreach agencies work throughout the state to make life better and more prosperous for our citizens.
UT trains a huge portion of the state’s physicians, pharmacists, dentists, and nurses—not to mention architects, attorneys, teachers, and other professionals.
And through your generous gifts and your work on behalf of UT, you take everything we do and make it even better.
Your investments help us recruit better students with scholarships, educate and challenge them with better faculty who benefit from professorships and chairs, and overall, provide a better experience for all students on each of our campuses.
The University of Tennessee gets better every day, thanks to people like you. Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
John D. Petersen
President
