reminders
College can be a fun and exciting experience, but it can
also be challenging, overwhelming, and stressful. If you are worried about a fellow Vol,
observe a behavior that makes you uncomfortable, or you feel like a fellow Vol may harm
themselves or others, 974-HELP is where you can call for support. Learn to detect the signs
of a struggling student and what you can do to help here.

Last spring, SGA met with administrators to advocate
for students’ ability to spend their Dining Dollars and VolCard dollars in Neyland
Stadium. This semester, UT Dining worked out a plan to make that happen. You can now
use your VolCard to pay for gameday concessions at select stands on the lower concourse
by sections E, G, H, and J and at a few stands in the upper decks. Participating concession
stands will have a sign indicating that they accept Dining and VolCard dollars.

UT Recycling is working in partnership with UT Athletics
and Good Sports Always
Recycle program to eliminate all waste associated with UT athletic events. As you can
imagine, 100,000 fans in Neyland Stadium and tailgating areas can produce a lot of waste.
Be sure to recycle if you’re tailgating. You can also help by volunteering a few hours
of your time before, during, or after a home football game. Sign up to volunteer here.
