In her first major public address as chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Dr. Lori Bruce delivered a powerful and inspiring speech to a packed house at the Chattanooga Rotary Club meeting Thursday, July 17, held at the Chattanooga Convention Center. The audience included regional leaders, alumni and community partners eager to hear her early priorities for UTC.<\/p>\n

Bruce explored UTC\u2019s historical identity as a \u201cLight Upon a Hill\u201d and called for bold, purposeful partnerships to guide the University and community into the future. She emphasized UTC\u2019s commitment to academic excellence, accessibility and community engagement, highlighting more than $400 million in new and ongoing capital projects.<\/p>\n

Bruce outlined an ambitious vision that included growing enrollment to 15,000 students by 2030, enhancing research as a tool for innovation, increasing student engagement through activities such as athletic events, and elevating UTC as a sought-after destination among public universities.<\/p>\n

She also underscored the power of partnerships and encouraged Rotarians to join her in shaping Chattanooga\u2019s future through collaboration with UTC.<\/p>\n
