Every spring, UT celebrates academic and professional honors. The awards highlight individuals embodying the Volunteer spirit through extraordinary research and creative activity, impactful contributions to campus life, and leadership and service to the university and beyond.

Prior to 2021, all awards were presented at the Chancellor’s Honors Banquet. In 2021, the Academic Honors Banquet was created and awards were divided between the two events. The Academic Honors Banquet is hosted by Office of the Provost.
