Our faculty go above and beyond for our students, so we’re thanking them during Faculty Appreciation Week, February 6-12th.
Faculty Footnotes
The story of every accomplished faculty member is one of teaching, research, and outreach. Beyond that are the Faculty Footnotes—the life experiences, special interests, and personal passions—that show how Volunteers are making a difference in the world every day. During Faculty Appreciation week, we introduce you to some of our great faculty stories, footnotes included.

Latest Shout-Out
Shout-out to:Interlibrary Loan Staff
From:Joseph Jarret
The UT Libraries, Interlibrary Loan (ILL) staff is a wonder. They courteously, professionally, and tirelessly pursue and obtain items that are not readily available locally. Their assistance has been invaluable in my research as well as efforts to provide fresh, and at times novel or unique materials to my students.
