University of Tennessee President Randy Boyd is hitting the road, visiting high schools across the state to emphasize the value of higher education and showcase the opportunities available at UT. His initiative aims to engage directly with Tennessee students, encouraging them to consider higher education as a pathway to success.

Boyd’s visits will include presentations and interactive sessions designed to inspire students and provide them with valuable information about UT’s diverse programs, scholarships, and support services. He plans to highlight the transformative impact a UT education can have on students’ lives, preparing them for fulfilling careers and contributing to the state’s economic growth.

“Every Tennessean deserves the chance to pursue their dreams through higher education,” stated Boyd. “Our goal is to ensure that every high school student in Tennessee understands the pathways available to them and feels empowered to achieve their full potential. We want to show them how UT can be their launchpad for success.”

Beyond traditional academic programs, Boyd intends to highlight UT’s focus on experiential learning, research opportunities, and student life experiences that foster personal and professional development. He emphasizes the value of a UT education as a stepping stone to a brighter future, regardless of students’ chosen field.

By bringing the message of higher education directly to students, Boyd aims to break down barriers and encourage more Tennessee residents to pursue their educational aspirations. The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on student enrollment and contribute to the state’s commitment to a highly educated workforce.
