Shout out to our faculty, students and alumni who have stories here and have found their community and home here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The week is full of activities and events, from scavenger hunts to window painting. The event also includes week-long activities such as Teachers Love UTC, the Scrappy\u2019s Cupboard Food Drive and the Student Program Survey.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers Love UTC offers the chance to win a swag bag by tagging @UTChattanoogaAlumni to show off UTC pride. Scrappy\u2019s Cupboard Food Drive locations can be found in the Chancellor\u2019s Office, University Center Room 278, Lupton Hall 104 and UTC Library Main Info Desk. The Student Program Survey gives students a chance to help the Center for Student Leadership, Engagement and Community identify ways to improve campus life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStop by on your way to class, write a thank you note for a donor and get a cookie,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a major commitment to engage and it\u2019s fun. It\u2019s a cool part of what makes this campus special.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/give.utc.edu\/i-love-utc-week\/\">Calendar of events<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Monday, April 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11 a.m.-1 p.m.,\u00a0Appreciation Station, Library Plaza by Chamberlain Field<\/li>\n<li>11 a.m., Rubber Duck Scavenger Hun<a href=\"Golden%20Duck%20Scavenger%20Hunt\">t<\/a>, campuswide<\/li>\n<li>3-5 p.m., Library Window Painting, UTC Library<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, April 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11 a.m.-1 p.m.,\u00a0UTC Family Feud, Lupton 120<\/li>\n<li>11 a.m.-1 p.m.,\u00a0Sweet to Serve You-Cotton Candy Fizz Drinks, Crossroads<\/li>\n<li>5-9 p.m.,\u00a0I Love UTC Night at White Duck Taco, 1519 McCallie Ave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, April 8<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.,\u00a0Scholarship Luncheon<strong>,<\/strong> Tennessee Room (Invitation Only)<\/li>\n<li>2 p.m.,\u00a0Women\u2019s Tennis: UTC vs. Mercer, UTC Tennis Center<\/li>\n<li>2-4 p.m.,\u00a0Scrappy\u2019s Market, University Center Lobby<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Thursday, April 9<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11 a.m.-3 p.m.,\u00a0First Responder Field Day, Vine Street (Between UTC Library and Maclellan Gym)<\/li>\n<li>11 a.m.-1 p.m.,\u00a0Crossroads Rodeo Roundup, Crossroads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Friday, April 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Beach Volleyball vs. Georgia State and UT Martin, UTC Sports Complex<\/li>\n<li>12:15 p.m.,\u00a0Blue and Gold Friday Mocs Family Photo, Chamberlain Field<\/li>\n<li>2-4 p.m.,\u00a0Happy Hour BOGO Drinks, Starbucks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Saturday, April 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>9 a.m.,\u00a0Blue and Gold Preview, The ARC<\/li>\n<li>9:30 a.m.-5 p.m.,\u00a0Leadership Retreat, Begins at Chamberlain Field<\/li>\n<li>8 a.m., 2 p.m., 6 p.m.,\u00a0Beach Volleyball vs. North Alabama, Eastern Kentucky and Berry College, UTC Sports Complex<\/li>\n<li>Noon, Men\u2019s Tennis vs. University of North Carolina Greensboro, UTC Tennis Center<\/li>\n<li>1 and 3 p.m., Softball vs. East Tennessee State University, Frost Stadium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Learn more<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/give.utc.edu\/i-love-utc-week\/\">I Love UTC Week<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/enrollment-management-and-student-affairs\/admissions\/visit\">Visit UTC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/apply\">How to apply<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting Monday, April 6, I Love UTC Week returns to celebrate the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and its students, faculty and staff.
