What began in 1794 as a small college in the Southwest Territory is now Tennessee’s flagship university and premier public research institution. For 225 years, Volunteers have been lighting the way for other, across Tennessee and throughout the world.

September 10, 2019 marked the 225 year anniversary of the University of Tennessee.

For Homecoming 2019, to continue to celebration of 225 Years of Volunteers, the Homecoming Theme will be “Lighting the Way”

Homecoming is a great time for alumni to reconnect to the campus and reunite with old friends. It is also a great time for current students to celebrate what makes the university truly unique and outstanding. This website contains this year’s Homecoming events as well as a brief history of past Homecoming events. Thank you for joining us to celebrate the Volunteer Spirit and a Tennessee tradition unrivaled by any other.
