Young Alumni
Your Volunteer journey doesn’t end after graduation.
Wherever you end up, we hope you’ll stay connected to Rocky Top through programs and events, exclusively for young professionals (alumni 10 years or less post-graduation).
Young Alumni Council
The Young Alumni Council serves as a vital nexus between alumni, students, and the university and plays an instrumental role in moving UT forward. The council connects young alumni with one another and UT through social and networking events, leadership and service opportunities, and exclusive activities for university leaders.
