A new online community is enhancing the digital alumni experience of UT Martin graduates.

Last year, nearly 11,000 UT alumni participated in a comprehensive survey to aid the University of Tennessee Alumni Association in the development of a strategic plan, and based on that feedback, the UTAA has reshaped the way it communicates.

The redesigned UT Martin alumni website is
integrated with popular social networking tools, including a new feature that allows alumni to connect their Facebook account with their alumni profile. Once registered, alums can share more information like class notes and photos, and the technology will make it easy for them to network with other alumni in their area or from their college.

The newfound sense of community will also make it easier for alumni to get involved in their local areas, to stay informed about what’s happening on UT Martin’s campus, to register for events and to take advantage of career opportunities, explained Charley Deal, assistant vice chancellor for alumni relations and annual giving for UT Martin.

“This is the future,” Deal said. “This is an exciting and dramatic change that will deliver what UT Martin alums want—access to a connected community of more than 325,000 UT alumni around the world.” To add your email address to the current database, visit utmforever.com, and sign up today.
