Alumni Awards

Each year, we have the pleasure of honoring outstanding alumni in four categories. These alumni from across the state, nation, and world bring recognition and honor to Tennessee’s flagship campus in Knoxville. A committee made up of members of the Alumni Board of Directors are responsible for the review and selection of the alumni awards.
