University of Tennessee at Martin: Chancellor Dr. Keith Carver.
A MESSAGE FROM THE
 CHANCELLOR

The University of Tennessee at Martin has been a fixture in the West Tennessee educational landscape since its founding as a private institution in 1900.

I often wonder if those local, state and university officials who worked out our charter could have imagined what this institution would eventually become. From our roots as an outpost for the Knoxville campus – we've grown into our own comprehensive university with 6,700 students and multiple locations across West Tennessee.

We honor the traditions from the past, but today's educational landscape requires that we cast an eye to the future. We need to focus on being good stewards of our resources, provide students with a quality educational product, and be active contributors to the state, region and beyond. We are housed in West Tennessee, but our impact is regional, national and international.

Today we embark on a five-year strategic plan. This plan will engage our campus and external communities in our future, highlight our priorities and provide clear methods to measure our progress.

I hope that you'll check back on our progress over the next several months. It'll be an exciting journey.

Come fly with us.
