Jessica Fuller: It's a huge relief to graduate. It's very bittersweet. I'm so sad to leave
and no longer be able to call UT my college, and be an alumni. It's exciting but very sad.
Brad Merritt: I've always been a Vol, and now I'm an alumni here. I grew up on it and
I always will be a Vol. It's kind of a legacy. I hope that
my family one day will come to UT and carry that home.
Britney Harris: It's changed me in many ways. I've grown since day one to today. I've seen and
experienced so many things. I feel proud to say that I'm from Tennessee and that I'm a Volunteer.
It's just a sense of pride for me.
Al Gore: When his famous manager, Colonel Parker got the news, he said, "This changes nothing."
Caleb Clark: Being a Vol means everything to me. Being a part of the Tennessee family, being in the
orange in every stadium, whether it's the football stadium or the new Allan Jones Aquatic Center,
I'm always cheering on our student athletes. Being a Vol means much more than just sporting events.
It's the whole campus, being a part of the UT family is great. I've grown a lot in my time at UT
not only from the staff and faculty to my professors mentoring and guiding me through my way
I've grown with my friends, my family supported me the whole time,
through leadership skills, but as well as just growing up.
Dean Bruce Bursten: Graduates, you may now move your tassels from right to left.
