Welcome from
The Office of the Dean of Students!
 

We're excited to kick off the 2015-2016 year at UTC with you! 

The Dean of Students Office is your primary contact for Parent & Family Association, and we are located on the 3rd Floor of the University Center, in Suite 399.  Please stop by the next time you are on campus!  

Our office provides programs and opportunities in the areas of Fraternity & Sorority Life, Leadership Programs, Student Activities and Organizations, Multicultural Programs, Student Government Association, Student Media and Veteran Student Services.  We also provide support to students through Student Advocacy and Support and Student Conduct.  (and of course, Parent & Family Association!) 

We invite you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for UTC updates, announcements and pictures from our events.  

We hope you have a great summer, and we look forward to meeting you at the 2015 Summer Send-Offs!
