The University of Tennessee Alumni Association (formerly UT National Alumni Association) adopted a new logo recently to better align itself with the overall marketing goals of the UT system. The new logo above incorporates the orange “winged UT” that is now considered the overall logo for the University of Tennessee system.

The UTAA serves as the hub for all system alumni, offereing unified services (UT system chapters, permanent forwarding email, alumni directories, credit card services, etc.) to all 300,000+ living alumni of the UT system. However, each campus has its own alumni office to meet the direct interests and needs of the alums from each campus.

 This is the primary logo for the UTC Office of Alumni Affairs.

The state needs environmentally friendly alternative fuels. A plentiful and untapped energy resource biomass offers Tennessee the opportunity to create a sustainable biobased economy with cellulosic ethanol.

Dr. Kelly Tiller (UTC ’91), Director of External Operations at the UT Office of Bioenergy Programs, visited the UTC campus on Thursday, November 29th and presented the new Tennessee Biofuels Initiative, a business model that outlines how the state can replace up to 30 percent of its petroleum consumption with fuel distilled from homegrown switchgrass and woody plants.

It is with a deep sense of loss that we announce the death of Ken Smith last evening. Ken had begun phased retirement last year, but was unable to teach this fall. Ken taught creative writing, particularly in the areas of fiction and creative non-fiction, as well as courses in American literature and Western humanities. He was the author of the story collections Decoys and Other Stories and Angels and Others, as well as dozens of short stories, essays, and works of creative non-fiction. His work has appeared in magazines such as The Atlantic, Crazyhorse, Sonora Review, and Tri-Quarterly, and has been featured in the collections Best American Short Stories and Best of the West. He was also a writer-in-residence at Vanderbilt University.  

In honor of Ken Smith, his love of writing, and his commitment to students and his colleagues, the English Department is establishing the Kenneth Smith Fiction Prize to be awarded annually to an outstanding student writer.Those who would like to contribute to this memorial being established in Ken’s honor may do so through the Development Office. Contributions should be made to the UC Foundation and designated for the Ken Smith Fiction Prize.
