Our outstanding University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is not only celebrating its history of 125 years of educational opportunities for the people of our community, but is emphasizing the greater excellence that it rightly hopes to achieve in the future.
UTC Chancellor Dr. Roger Brown welcomed University of Tennessee system President Dr. Joe DiPietro from Knoxville on Friday to cheer on the university’s fundraising and its quest to become even better.
While DiPietro and Brown noted our university’s commendable past, their focus appropriately was on its future – and what it will mean personally to thousands of UTC students and our whole Chattanooga community and economy.
Visitors to the UTC campus these days find much more than just the familiar, historic buildings. There also is much evidence of construction under way, improving the facilities and landscape.
But the UTC supporters’ major emphasis is not on history and buildings.
