UT will host several events throughout the day on Tuesday, February 25, to round out the 225 on 2/25 anniversary celebration. The theme of the celebration is food insecurity awareness, incorporating service projects along with campus engagement events to provide food to those in need. Keeping with the theme of the day, all food left over from the special events will be donated to local nonprofits by the Food Recovery Network instead of being thrown away.
