A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty:

The Graduate Diversity Enhancement Fellowship is annually open to first-time enrollees who have been admitted to a graduate program of study at UTK with the intent of pursuing a doctoral or master’s degree and who demonstrate significant potential to contribute to the Graduate School’s educational mission and its diversity-related goals. These students almost always become Graduate Assistants in their years of graduate study therefore broadening diversity in UTK’s faculty.
