Six seniors have been recognized as Torchbearers, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s highest undergraduate honor. Since 1968, the Torchbearer statue UT’s official symbol has stood on campus with a plaque stating the Volunteer Creed: “One that beareth a torch shadoweth oneself to give light to others,” a physical reminder of the values that are central to UT. Each year, a group of students who have gone above and beyond in demonstrating their commitment to service, outstanding leadership, and academic achievement are named Torchbearers in recognition of their extraordinary accomplishments.
The recipients learned of their selection through a surprise visit by Chancellor Donde Plowman or a member of her cabinet in early March. The surprises took place both in person and virtually, to accommodate students who are not on campus. Virtual visits included family members, friends, and mentors able to tune in to congratulate the recipients.
