Join the Council
Did you know that more than 2,200 UT alumni who graduated from the Knoxville campus identify themselves as Latino or Latina?
The council is comprised of graduates who serve a two-year term. Members are expected to make an annual gift of any size to UT, join two annual meetings, and participate in annual campus programs.
Applications are accepted annually in May, and members are selected by August.
If you have any questions about the council, please contact Phyllis Moore, senior director of alumni programs, at phyllismoore@utk.edu.
