Every student has their own journey to higher education. Regardless of where a student’s journey starts, finding the right environment for their interests and needs is crucial to reaching their higher-education goals. Thankfully, our state offers students a number of options all through one connected network: the University of Tennessee System. Read the President's Column: https://t.co/fK4k9jxJ7C

In light of the recent tragedies affecting Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and other states, my heartfelt prayers are with all those impacted. The challenges and losses faced by families and communities are truly unimaginable. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we come together to support our neighbors. Let us uplift one another and extend the assistance needed for healing and recovery.

Here are ways to give and get involved in the recovery effort -

September is pediatric cancer awareness month, a cause that is close to my heart.

Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease after infancy. Around 400,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer each year, but the actual number may be higher since an estimated 44% of global cases go undiagnosed.

Please support pediatric-specific cancer research (only seven drugs have been approved by the FDA to treat childhood cancer in the past 30 years. In this time, over 200 drugs have been approved for adults) through trusted organizations such as @talanstrust & Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (@PBTF) & @stjude

Dr. Pavlos Msaouel breaks down why over half of people diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma are young Black men who carry the sickle cell trait: https://t.co/onaUaCl5JK @PavlosMsaouel #KidneyCancer #EndCancer

Studies show infants and young children treated for brain tumors show early signs of falling behind in academic readiness. Early interventions, such as enriching experiences and support, may improve long-term academic achievement for survivors.
