UT Martin kicked off its yearlong 125th anniversary celebration Oct. 10 with a formal ceremony in Watkins Auditorium. Those in attendance for the ceremony were UT System President Randy Boyd, Chancellor Yancy Freeman Sr. and his cabinet members, local and state government officials, and former UT Martin chancellors Dr. Philip Conn (1998-2000), Dr. Nick Dunagan (2001-07), Dr. Robert Smith (2015-17), and Dr. Keith Carver (2017-23). Speakers reflected on UT Martin’s milestones from its beginnings as Hall-Moody Institute in 1900 to its growth into a leading regional institution and celebrated its legacy of perseverance, purpose, and progress. The ceremony marked the start of a year of special events recognizing 125 years of education and service to West Tennessee and beyond that will conclude in September.
