Areas of Greatest Need
The University of Tennessee at Martin is more than a university. It is home to more than 7,500 students, nearly half of whom are the first to attend college in their families. We’re nurturing their dreams by preparing them for life beyond graduation with stimulating and individualized instruction and exploration.
Priority Initiatives
We are deeply committed to providing a quality, affordable education in West Tennessee. Your support in these priority areas will help us be recognized as one of the nation’s premier, regionally-engaged public universities.
You have the opportunity to add your name to a bench or lamp post in the historic campus quadrangle.
Proceeds benefit the UT Martin Campus Beautification Fund, which is used to purchase plants, support general upkeep of the quad area, and cover the cost of constructing new entryways to the university.
All gifts are tax deductible and will allow the university to maintain the beauty alumni and students have come to expect from UT Martin. For more information, call 731-881-3611 or email mborden5@utm.edu.
