Celebrating Our Centennial
Only a handful of university alumni magazines throughout the nation can claim 100 years of continuous publication. The Tennessee Alumnus proudly joins that group in 2017, having published continuously since 1917, and we plan to bring the celebration to you in each of next year’s three issues.
The centerpiece of our commemorative content will be profiles of 100 Centennial Alumni, nominated by you, our readers, and by university and UT Alumni Association leaders. We’re also sprucing up our look—after 100 years, you can’t neglect your appearance—and debuting an updated, redesigned Alumnus in 2017.
Other surprises are planned, and we look forward to sharing them.
