KNOXVILLE — Just like in the movie, exhibits will come alive for faculty who attend the “Night at the Museum” event at McClung Museum.
This event, hosted by the Tennessee Teaching and Learning Center and McClung Museum, is one the special opportunities faculty can enjoy today as the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, celebrates Faculty Appreciation Week.
Night at the Museum begins at 5 p.m. with an hors d’oeuvres reception. Participants will experience the map exhibit in a fun way and learn how to use the museum within course pedagogy.
Please RSVP to tenntlc@utk.edu or call Kelly Ellenburg at 974-3807.
This morning, the Office of Development coordinated a “thank you” breakfast for faculty and staff who donated to the Campaign for Tennessee. This invitation-only event was hosted by Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek and sponsored by Aramark.
Today’s Faculty Appreciation Week stories focus on assistant professors Russell Crook and Marianne Wannamaker from the College of Business Administration; Associate Professor Kimberly Gwinn and Assistant Professor Bryan Patterson from the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources; associate professors Suzie Allard and Michael Palenchar from the College of Communication and Information; and Associate Professor Murray Marks from the Graduate School of Medicine.
Today’s video features Tony Award-winning actor John Cullum reminiscing about one of his favorite UT faculty members.
This is Faculty Appreciation Week, a time to celebrate faculty and their teaching, research and outreach. Their work is a big part of what makes the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, the great university it is.
