Hundreds of prospective students and their families explored UTC during Blue and Gold Preview Day. In addition to campus tours, information sessions and an application workshop, UTC faculty, advisors and current students set up booths in the Aquatic and Recreation Center. Representatives from each academic department shared insights and answered questions from prospective students and their families.

Service learning as a critical approach to the study of social problems
In a new UTC course, Society of Social Problems, students will review current social issues, possible solutions to those issues and integrate that knowledge into real-life situations.
