Over the past year, as part of the university’s successful Carnegie Community Engagement Classification application process, the Office of Research and Engagement has featured a list of fifty of UT’s best community-campus partnerships. The university celebrated its status as an engaged institution throughout the year by highlighting these individual examples in articles that show their unique contribution to the community. The final program in our list is VolsTeach.
