Visit to HCHS by UT President Randy Boyd and UT Martin Chancellor Yancy Freeman
Henry County High School Juniors and Seniors had an opportunity to hear from UT System President Randy Boyd today as part of his annual Find Your Future high school tour. Each year, President Boyd travels across Tennessee to encourage students to think boldly about their futures and explore the opportunities available through UT at their five campuses--Chattanooga, Health Sciences, Knoxville, Martin, and Southern.
President Boyd was joined by UT Martin Chancellor Yancy Freeman and a recent UT Martin graduate, Ashlyn Drewry, who is now the Manager of Marketing and Public Relations at Discovery Park of America.
The group shared how UT helps students pursue their goals through affordable pathways to a degree, strong career outcomes, and a college experience designed to prepare them for their next steps. President Boyd shared with students that those with a bachelor’s degree make an average of $1.5 million more in lifetime earnings and that 55.3% of UT undergrad students graduate debt-free, six of ten students due to the UT Promise program. Students received information about the UT system and had a chance to receive a UT shirt.
