Diversity of Programs, UT on Display for Breakfast of Champions
The College of Engineering held its annual Breakfast of Champions recently, giving underrepresented high school students—defined as African-American, Hispanic, Native American, Alaskan Native, and Pacific Islander—a chance to visit with UT professors, tour labs, and get to know some of their potential classmates.
“The big goal is to raise awareness of engineering opportunities at Tennessee for these students,” said Engineering Diversity Program Director Travis Griffin. “A major part of that is showing them the kinds of things that they will be working on and the kind of people they will be working with.”
