Math Board of Visitors Expands
After more than a year’s preparation, an expanded, diverse 23-member Board of Visitors (BoVs) was established in fall 2023 to serve as ambassadors and strategic partners for the Department of Mathematics.
The board assists with formulating the department’s long-term development plans and strengthening its reputation nationally and internationally.
In 2024, the BoV established a full leadership team, including Jeremy Mitchell, Renee Fister, and Kirill Yakovlev. Tom Chappell, a founding member of the board, became the past president.
The BoV works to highlight the department among businesses, the general public, alumni, and the University of Tennessee. Board members also foster relationships with businesses and government labs, paving the way for contractual agreements and internships that benefit the department’s students.
The BoV also actively seeks funding opportunities that can fuel new initiatives and short-term projects.
