Lights out for KY. Proud of our Vols!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

Thankful for all our friends, partners and legislators that attend the annual legislative tailgate. Tennessee Exceptionalism is real! Blessed to be in higher education in Tennessee!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

Homecoming is one of my favorite UT traditions! There’s nothing better than seeing students, alumni and generations of Vol fans come together to celebrate the Big Orange. It was fun to see the mural be part of the festivities, too! Jenny and I loved celebrating alongside so many familiar faces and seeing all that UT pride on display. What a great weekend to be a Vol!

More than $654 million reasons to be thankful! Great conversations at this morning's UT Foundation Board meeting as we celebrate 25 years of generosity and giving back. Thanks to our incredible donors, we're continuing to build on the Greatest Decade in UT history and make an even greater difference across Tennessee!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

From Texas to Florida to Tennessee, the commitment to moving One UT forward reaches far and wide! Great to host our UT Foundation Board members in Knoxville ahead of tomorrow’s meeting. Thank you all for making the trip and for everything you do to support the University of Tennessee System!

Tennessee the wine capital of the world?? Well, maybe! We’ve got to start some time. Why not now?

Joined @UTIAg leaders Dr. Hongwei Xin, Blake Brown and Pierre Davadant for a tour of UT Gardens and the site of a new 3-acre UT vineyard that will advance viticulture research and education while supporting Tennessee’s growing agricultural industry. Exciting things are taking root at UTIA!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

Student success is at the heart of everything we do. That means thinking differently about how we deliver education and creating more opportunities for Tennesseans. UT Chattanooga and UT Southern are finding new ways to help working professionals earn a high-quality bachelor's degree in less time and take the next step in their careers.

[UT System News @UTSystemNews]

@UTChattanooga and @UT_Southern have met pre-approval criteria to develop proposals for focused baccalaureate degrees in corrections and related criminal justice fields. https://t.co/6wUhzjUZkq

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

The conversations shaping Tennessee’s future matter. Grateful to join the Howard Baker Policy Summit for thoughtful discussions on the issues and opportunities facing our state and nation. Thank you to former governors Bill Haslam and Phil Bredesen for bringing people together for an important conversation!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

It's been an exciting week for UT athletics, with big wins and milestones to celebrate! 🎉

@UTMartinSoccer made history as the women's soccer team clinched its sixth Ohio Valley Conference regular-season championship with a win over Eastern Illinois, tying the OVC record for the most titles in league history!

@Vol_SwimDive earned three SEC weekly awards for the second time this season! Plus, former @Vol_Softball coach Ralph Weekly and Lady Vol legend Monica Abbott were both inducted into the National Softball Hall of Fame.

Taking UT to the Big Apple for my 18th New York City Marathon! Such a fun experience, especially getting to run alongside people with incredible stories, including a 90-year-old runner named Marty. And, of course, hearing plenty of UT fans cheering along the way with a few “Go Vols!” Always inspiring to see what people are capable of! 🧡

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

That’s a wrap on two days of great conversations at the SEUS Japan Conference in Nashville!

Chancellor Bruce brought a fresh perspective to today’s panel on quantum technology, sharing how these emerging advancements could shape our world in ways everyone can understand.

A great look at what’s ahead for Tennessee and beyond!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

Innovation and collaboration are driving Tennessee’s automotive future. Through partnerships with companies like DENSO, the UT System is advancing research, talent and economic growth.

Honored to welcome leaders from the Southeast U.S. and Japan to Tennessee for their first joint meeting here since 2011!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

Good food, fall weather, fun costumes and even better company!

The UTSA Fall Picnic was the perfect excuse to get together and celebrate the people who keep the UT System moving forward. Grateful for a team that works hard, lives out our Be One UT values and knows how to have a little fun along the way!

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

Our new Government, Economic and Public Service (GEPS) division is strengthening UT’s partnerships with local government and connecting our expertise with the needs of communities across Tennessee.

Thank you to TCSA for bringing county leaders together at its fall conference this morning in Murfreesboro to share ideas, tackle challenges and build a stronger Tennessee.

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

Every new healthcare professional has the potential to change a life. Preparing more to meet Tennessee’s growing healthcare needs is an investment in our state’s future.

In the latest president’s column with UT Health Sciences Chancellor Peter Buckley, we share how the new College of Medicine Interdisciplinary Building will help educate more healthcare professionals to serve communities across Tennessee for generations to come.

That’s what it means to be Made in Tennessee.
