UT News is a one-stop source for the latest news from the University of Tennessee System and its campuses and institutes delivered to your iPhone. UT News brings the University of Tennessee’s news directly to smart phones. UT boasts a statewide enrollment of nearly 50,000 and an ever-growing alumni population of about 370,000. Through this app, UT hopes to combine multiple campuses’ individual news sites into a single on-demand news feed from each UT campus’ website. The app also provides a quick way for all the University’s followers to visit the UT System YouTube Channel, as well as keep up to date on UT’s various outreach programs (impact in the community, current initiatives, ever-growing institutes, etc.). We believe this app provides a long overdue service for a University whose many followers need easy and quick access to UT news.
