The University of Tennessee is celebrating its storied past and charting its future. What began as Blount College in 1794 is now Tennessee’s flagship university and premier public research institution. Today UT educates more students, conducts more groundbreaking research, and receives more support from stakeholders than at any other time in its history. All who find a path to their future at UT carry with them the legacy of showing up to answer a call and a tradition of excellence in their endeavors. Volunteers have been working together to light the way for others through service and discovery for 225 years. The light of this university is seen in every corner of Tennessee and throughout the world—a beacon shining bright. Video narrated by UT alumnus and champion Peyton Manning.
