About
Since 1968, the UT Institute of Agriculture has been providing Real. Life. Solutions. for Tennesseans from all walks of life.
From UT Extension’s presence in each of Tennessee’s ninety-five counties to groundbreaking and innovative work in AgResearch tackling tomorrow’s challenges today, we impact families every day. Equally important is our mission to educate the agriculture leaders of tomorrow. Herbert College of Agriculture and the UT College of Veterinary Medicine alumni are delivering on our land-grant mission in communities across this great state and beyond.
Thanks to your support, we can meet societal challenges and provide solutions for a healthier planet. Our office is ready to assist you in meeting your own philanthropic dreams while securing a brighter future for the UT Institute of Agriculture. I invite you to explore this site, and should you have any questions, please contact any member of our Advancement Team.
And remember, every day is a great day to be a Tennessee Volunteer.
