We've Still Got Time to Beat Kentucky in Annual Blood Drive

Help us reverse the losing trend to Kentucky. The Wildcats have won the annual Battle of the Orange and Blue for three years now and are poised to win it again. As of Wednesday night, Kentucky has collected seventy-two more pints than the Volunteers, with just two more days left for collections.

There's still time to pull out a win! Donate from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. today and tomorrow in UC Rooms 223 and 225. You can also donate from 12:00 to 8:00 p.m. tonight in Hess Hall. Donors will be given free pizza and coupons.


It's Time to Evaluate Your Instructors

As the end of the semester approaches, it's time for you to evaluate your instructors. Your opinion makes a difference and is important to your instructors and fellow students. Your evaluation will remain anonymous. 

The fall semester evaluations are now available through midnight December 4. Read more about why these evaluations are so important to our campus.

UT Game Day Recycling Volunteers Needed

As you can imagine, 100,000 fans in Neyland Stadium produce quite a lot of waste. UT Game Day Recycling volunteers and workers collect waste from inside the stadium and designated tailgating areas.

Sign up to help with game day recycling this Saturday when the Vols take on Vanderbilt.
