Following the success of a two-year set of self-imposed budget restraints in 2015, University of Tennessee President Joe DiPietro informed the Board of Trustees Wednesday that the University is preparing another set of cost-saving goals.
“I believe that we are living in a transformational time,” Joe DiPietro said before a crowd of legislators, alumni and friends at the Nashville Public Library. “One day, future generations of Tennesseans will look back at where we stand now as the moment when our state took a tremendous leap forward.”
The one-hour event will take place Feb. 21 and will be available to watch via a live webcast. The program includes a comprehensive assessment of the University’s recent achievements, challenges, and positions on significant issues.
Four University of Tennessee graduates who have achieved success in fields from medicine to business to athletics were honored for exceptional service to their alma mater at the annual UT President’s Council Awards Dinner in Memphis.
Trustees approved President Joe DiPietro’s recommendations that Beverly Davenport be appointed the next chancellor for UT Knoxville and that Tim Cross be appointed the next UT Institute of Agriculture chancellor.
