Martin Methodist College and the University of Tennessee signed a nonbinding letter of intent today, the first step in discussions for the small, 150-year-old, private college to join the 51ºÚÁÏ.
The University of Tennessee is on a mission to paint a mural in each of Tennessee’s 95 counties, reminding travelers from Memphis to Mountain City of UT’s statewide presence and impact.

When the barn murals are completed at the end of this month, they will stand as the campaign’s fourth and fifth installments and two fresh reminders of the impact UT has on the state of Tennessee.
In approving the COVID-19 and Guiding Principles for Fall 2020 resolution, trustees authorized the UT administration to take the necessary actions to have in-person instruction for the fall semester.
From transforming the way UT approaches diversity and inclusion to championing biomedical research, recipients of the 2020 President’s Awards embody excellence throughout the 51ºÚÁÏ.
