Join us in changing lives
The Office of Advancement is a key leader in the university’s mission by fostering a strong culture of lifelong learning and philanthropy. Our roadmap is the university’s strategic vision.
We connect Vols and friends, communities, and corporations with UT to advance the university. This partnership empowers our students, faculty, colleges, and departments to dream big.
