There persists a long-standing misconception that universities function as isolated ivory towers, disconnected from the realities and challenges of the world beyond their campuses. However, the University of Tennessee System is steadfastly committed to dispelling this myth by focusing on equipping our students with the skills they need to meet the demands of employers today and tomorrow.
A few common denominators that dynamic leaders have is that they are people-focused, vision articulate and inspirational. Keith Carver embodies these traits…and more.
The University of Tennessee averages approximately 1,140 veterans, service members, dependents and reservists who serve as students on our campuses across the state. And, our efforts around educating military-affiliated students are getting noticed on a national level.
I am convinced, more so than ever, that there is no better time in the University of Tennessee’s history than now. As I look back on the last year, I am encouraged by all that has been accomplished and energized about what’s to come.
