Five years. Record-breaking momentum. An even brighter future ahead.

As the newest campus in the UT System celebrates its fifth anniversary, @UT_Southern continues to reach new milestones — including an all-time high spring retention rate of 91%, a testament to the success of its students, faculty and staff.

In just five years, UT Southern has built a strong foundation for growth, opportunity and student success. Here's to the next chapter of transforming lives and strengthening southern Middle Tennessee.

Coach Pat Summitt’s legacy continues to inspire generations!

PAT has returned to the Jenny Boyd Theatre, where Lisa Soland brings Coach Summitt’s story to life in a powerful one-woman performance filled with heart, grit and inspiration.

Every ticket sold supports the Pat Summitt Foundation and its mission to advance Alzheimer’s research and care.

This incredible performance can only be seen through Sunday. Purchase your tickets at the link below.

Buy a ticket. Be inspired. Support a cause.

Did you know anyone can walk into an ER and receive healthcare, but access to dental care isn’t available?

That’s why Bill Latimer’s impact is so important. A great philanthropist and supporter of UT, Bill is helping provide dental care to low-income Tennesseans through clinics across the state.

Had a great breakfast with Bill this morning at @PetesKnox and, as always, left with a new book in hand. Thank you, Bill, for all you do for the University of Tennessee and the people of Tennessee.

Happy Father’s Day to my dad. He didn’t just talk about hard work, he lived it! Long days, big ideas, and building something from nothing taught me more than I knew at the time. Grateful for him today and every day!

The colts got there first, but Green Sense was the fastest filly in the Jersey Stakes! 🧡🩶 It was a big week for our newest addition to the team, and we're very proud of how she represented Boyd Racing at Royal @Ascot. What a start to her journey in orange and gray. Next stop: America 🇺🇸She’ll be getting a new American name, so stay tuned! Share your ideas!

[Randy Boyd @randyboyd]

Excited to add Green Sense to the team. It’s not every day you buy a filly in London and watch her run the @Ascot in orange and gray less than a week later! One of the many reasons this sport never gets old. Green Sense runs today at 11:20 a.m. ET in the Jersey Stakes. Thanks for following along and cheering her on!

Covenant Health Park is on a roll! Opening Iron Forge a couple weeks ago! This is the first full-service restaurant to open and a big early milestone for Knoxville’s new Stadium District. Hope you’ll check out this family-friendly hangout sometime soon at the ballpark! @covhealthpark

Did you know half the Appalachian League baseball teams call East Tennessee home? ⚾ The @GFlyBoys, @JC_Doughboys, @KingsportAxmen, and @elzriverriders bring families and communities together for a game that has been part of local tradition for over a century. Hope to see you soon! https://t.co/CfHmjF9CZy

Royal Ascot 2026 was quite the experience. Now that I’ve invested in a hat, we have to come back!! Hopefully next time with a horse in the race on the first day. If we can win the King Charles III Stakes, we get to meet the King himself!

[Randy Boyd @randyboyd]

Successful and fun evening at the Goffs Sale at the Kensington Palace Gardens last night. We purchased Green Sense, a proven 3 year old Irish filly! She will race this Saturday in the Jersey Stakes. Jenny also got to meet @FrankieDettori, a famous and recently retired jockey. On to the Royal Ascot today!

Loved listening to our students today and learning more about @UTHSC’s Accelerated Three-Year MD Program. Students Johnson Phung, Akanee Angel and Alex Wood will graduate in three years instead of four, resulting in 25% less debt. Better yet, they plan to return and serve their communities across Tennessee!

[Randy Boyd @randyboyd]

Today we had the honor of welcoming @jackiesdream865 to their new permanent home at @covhealthpark. This is exactly what we envisioned: A thriving new stadium district that brings people together around food, entertainment, and community. Jackies's Dream fits right into that story! A local favorite known for incredible Southern comfort cooking, now growing deeper roots and helping shape this next chapter for downtown Knoxville!

[Randy Boyd @randyboyd]

Opening Day for @AppyLeague Baseball! This is baseball at its purest, played in communities that love the game. We hope to see you at the ballpark this season! https://t.co/miTgUdAWUs

Outside of my personal family, no other family has had a bigger impact on my life than the Haslam’s. The same would be true for the State of Tennessee and for The University of Tennessee. Today is just another great example. Thank you, Jimmy and Dee for your continued investment in the future of UT.

[UT Knoxville @UTKnoxville]

A historic $130 million investment by alumni Dee and Jimmy Haslam will help shape the future success of UT and its impact on the state!

Honored to join the Talkin' Tennessee with Yvonnca Podcast after two years in the making! We talked about the incredible people of Tennessee and the values that have shaped Jenny's and my commitment to giving back, investing locally, and helping make this the greatest decade in @UTSystemNews history. A few themes that continue to guide us: leave every trail better than you found it, dream big (BHAGs), and never lose sight of the community that shaped you. Thanks for listening! https://t.co/teCluqq6GQ

First win of the day! Congratulations, Splendora!

[Randy Boyd @randyboyd]

Turns out it’s going to be a doubleheader day for Boyd Racing! First up, Splendora runs in the Shawnee Stakes at @ChurchillDowns at 3:19 PM ET. Then tonight at 7:30 PM, Seismic Beauty makes her season debut at @santaanitapark. Excited to cheer on our girls! Catch all the action on FanDuel.
