Advisory Board
The UTCVM Advisory Board is the primary volunteer organization engaged in cultivating and directing significant resources to the College. Members are perceived as active partners in carrying out the College's strategic plan and overall mission. The Board meets twice annually in Knoxville. Members are clients, alumni, corporate/organizational representatives and friends of UTCVM.
A minimum of 6 members (25%) of the Advisory Board are UTCVM alumni. Service (as much as two four-year terms) on the Advisory Board provide alumni with another opportunity to 'give back' in a volunteer role to their veterinary college. Guidelines for membership are available upon request to cvmdev@utk.edu.
