In 2018, UT met with East Tennessee civic and community leaders to identify critical issues affecting citizens and how to leverage university resources for their benefit. Imagine Tennessee is a pilot umbrella initiative spotlighting UT’s efforts to address these real-world issues.
Imagine Tennessee connects, equips, and elevates community-university partnerships in four key areas:
Education
Family, Health & Wellness
Community & Economic Development
Sustainability & Environmental Resiliency
