Hello UTIA Senior Leader followers! Now that UTIA has welcomed Keith Carver as our new Senior Vice Chancellor & Senior Vice President, we encourage you to follow his official Twitter account at @KC4UTIA for all of his exciting updates. Thank you!

Such an exciting day celebrating the new UT School of Natural Resources! The renaming of this program will open many new doors for our students, faculty and staff.

What a wonderful event today celebrating the new @utcvm Teaching and Learning Center! I am excited for this addition to campus that will give our veterinary students more space to learn and grow together.

Enjoyed spending the afternoon with Mrs. Beverly Hall learning about the Ag Lab at Jere Whitson Elementary School in Cookeville.

Informative afternoon spent with Dr. Scott Schlarbaum learning more about the great work of the @UTIAg Tree Improvement Program.

From my family to yours, happy holidays! I hope these next few weeks are restful and filled with joyful celebrations. I'm honored to be a part of the incredible UTIA team, and I can't wait for all that is to come in 2023.

Santa and Mrs. Claus spent some quality time with @utcvm today!

Thankful for a break in the rains during my visit to Lone Oaks Farm today. Caught up with Director Ron Blair, Dean Ashley Stokes, and S.T.E.M. Director Penny Russell. A lovely location which should make West TN proud.

Enjoyed visiting @UT_Herbert and @utcvm students during Pancakes at Pendergrass. Good luck on your final exams!

Listened this morning to great words of wisdom from the Honorable Stephen Vaden of the United States Court of International Trade and former General Counsel for USDA, whom I enjoyed serving with while at USDA.

A wonderful start to the 101st annual meeting of @TNFarmBureau! Great to meet with some fantastic students and recruit them for the @UT_Herbert.

Today is #NationalFCSday, and @UTIAg is excited to celebrate! @UTExtensionFCS experts positively impact the everyday lives of Tennesseans in so many ways. At UTIA, we are proud of the incredible resources and #RealLifeSolutions they provide to communities across the state.

In 2021, our @utextensionfcs agents impacted the lives of more than half a million Tennesseans, providing an economic impact of more than $243 million. Thank you to our Family and Consumer Sciences team for your dedication to enriching Tennessee communities! #NationalFCSDay

A great afternoon spent with the @utextension Grainger County staff. Thank you for your hospitality! I enjoyed seeing your county and the famous Grainger County tomatoes.

Thank you @KnoxRotary for the invitation to speak at today’s meeting about the exciting programs and opportunities with @UTIAg.

We're so proud to see UTCVM alums doing great work in the field! Congratulations!

A great day in Atlanta for National 4-H Congress. Enjoyed joining the @Tennessee4H delegation for brunch this morning. We are well-represented by an outstanding group of 4-Hers.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have the chance today to enjoy time with loved ones and celebrate whatever Thanksgiving traditions you and yours enjoy.
