Counselor Advisory Board
The University of Tennessee’s Counselor Advisory Board is comprised of high school counselors, advisors, and college planning professionals from across the country. The board engages and supports the admissions office on behalf of students and counselors served by The University of Tennessee. The board is a resource for reviewing in-house processes and giving valuable input to aid our strategic direction serving students. Counselor Advisory Board members are specifically chosen based on their incredible experience, expertise, and involvement. Each year new board members rotate in, chosen by our UT admissions staff or are nominated by current board members and serve on average a two year term.
