Vol fans celebrate during a parade

There’s nothing like hearing “Go Vols!” when you are far from Knoxville. In your city and your community. All across the country, there are growing opportunities to meet fellow alumni, learn from university leadership, and cheer on the Vols. Whether you’re a recent grad or a long-time alum, we’re here to connect you with your Volunteer family!

In partnership with Tennessee Athletics, Rocky Top on the Road brings Vol tailgates to a city near you for select football, basketball, and baseball events. Keep your eye out for Chancellor Donde Plowman and university leaders as they travel the country to visit with alumni like you. And if you’re looking to connect with fellow alumni, join your local alumni chapter for networking, fellowship, watch parties, or summer “send-off” events to welcome incoming first-year students to the Vol family before they step foot on Rocky Top.
