Did you know Hoskins Library was once called UT’s Central Library when it opened in 1931? 📚 Nearly 100 years of history are inside these walls. It was great to tour Hoskins Library and the Carriage House at @utknoxville and get a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible collections, spaces and the great work being done by our ROTC programs. Thanks to Dean of University Libraries Steve Smith for showing us around, and great to have John Zomchick and Mike Brady along for the tour!

25 years later, we still remember. Today marks a quarter of a century since the tragic events of 9/11. We pause to honor the innocent lives lost and the incredible bravery displayed in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. We will never forget.

A behind-the-scenes look at where @UTKnoxville preserves its history. Great to tour the @UTKLibraries Storage Annex and see the collections, archives and resources helping preserve UT’s story for generations to come. With 650k cubic feet of vertical stack space, built roughly nine times more efficient than traditional library shelving, it’s a living collection that keeps growing. Truly one of the best facilities of its kind in the country.

More than 100 years ago, new Vols climbed the Hill by candlelight, carrying forward a tradition that welcomed them into the Tennessee family. Today, Torch Night continues to symbolize the passing of the flame from one generation of students to the next. Welcome home, Vols! 🧡🔥
