Big Orange Fridays: Show Your UT Spirit Every Friday
 We’re turning a longtime Friday football tradition into a year-round celebration. Big Orange Friday encourages you to wear orange each and every Friday to celebrate and support UT. Watch this Big Orange Friday video featuring UT students and faculty, Chancellor Cheek, and Smokey!
UT has more campus tours for prospective students and their families on Fridays than any other day. Seeing students, faculty, and staff wearing orange will help show a Big Orange welcome to prospective Volunteers.
You can share how you’re wearing your orange by posting on social media using the hashtag #BigOrangeFriday on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Staying in Knoxville for the three-day weekend? Take some time and explore the area, with all the small-town charm mixed with big-city fun that it offers. Plan your long weekend exploration by checking out a number of the free attractions, shops, museums, galleries, and outdoor recreational opportunities Rocky Top has to offer.
 This Sunday, Knoxville will celebrate the twenty-sixth anniversary Boomsday Festival. Grab your friends and head to Neyland Drive from 1:00 to10:00 p.m. to enjoy the festivities, live music performances, and one of the largest Labor Day fireworks displays in the nation over the Tennessee River! The fireworks will begin around 9:30 p.m.
Did you get your UT Alert text message or e-mail message yesterday? The bank robbery at the University Center and subsequent evacuation prompted distribution of UT Alert messages to all subscribers.
