A Legacy of Excellence

Founded in the mid-1800s alongside the University itself, the UT Alumni Association has been a cornerstone of the institution's success. From the establishment of the Tennessee Alumnus magazine in 1917 to the opening of the state-of-the-art Tyson Alumni Center in Knoxville, our organization has continuously evolved to serve the changing needs of our graduates.

Today, UT alumni lead corporations, serve in government, teach in classrooms, heal patients, design buildings, and make discoveries that change the world. They carry the orange and white into every corner of the globe, representing the values of excellence, integrity, and service that define the UT experience.
