Alumni can host a student visit to their business or organization, or even assist in coordinating a student trip to their city or region. These trips expose students to the work professionals and alumni, such as you, are doing out in the real world!

From very early on in my career, I made it a point to do what I could to give back to the students. Any way I can help and connect with student, I always take that opportunity. The more Tennessee Volunteers we put out into the world, the better off we are.”
