Summer 2023

With this issue falling into your mailboxes in July, we thought it a good time to reflect on the University of Tennessee’s connections with the U.S. Armed Forces. UT knows it’s important that we take care of those who are willing to give so much. From in-state tuition benefits to veterans services, across the UT System faculty and staff work to support those who have donned the uniform. With more than 1,700 veterans, active-duty members and their dependents who are students (because families serve too), we have committed ourselves to serve those who serve.

UT Knoxville students and military veterans display a banner which reads "Connecting military veterans to UT student services".
