Fall 2021

To reach adulthood is to become bumped and bruised at the very least, shattered and shuttered at the worst. “Hope,” as Emily Dickinson wrote, “is the thing with feathers/That perches in the soul.” In its residence there, it allows us to dream of something better than we’re experiencing at the moment: better education, better health care, better lives.

At the University of Tennessee, we’re doing more than dwelling in hope, dreaming of a new world filled with possibilities. We’re working to create that better world. In that work, hope no longer perches but soars above, leading the way.
