We’re Accepting Proposals
In 2018, we 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. We connect, equip, and elevate community-university partnerships in five key areas:
- Education
- Family, health and wellness
- Business and entrepreneurship
- Sustainability and environmental resiliency
- Community and economic development
