The expectation was that 2,000 people would sign up for the program, but more than 7,100 have, although not all will qualify, Boyd said.<\/li>\n<li>Recruit more mentors to help support students through good times and bad during their college career. \u201cI know everybody\u2019s busy, but you can find time to make a difference in somebody\u2019s life. We have 510 mentors right now. We need more.\u201d To sign up, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/tennessee.edu\/ut-promise\/\">tennessee.edu\/ut-promise<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Continue to build research projects across the system. Requests have been made to state, federal and private organizations for more money for research, he said. \u201cThese things will allow us to create world-class research institutions,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cIt will be incredibly significant and transformative, not just for the UT system but the state of Tennessee.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Become more efficient. A new system-wide efficiency initiative will be launched over the next couple of years, he said.<\/li>\n<li>Continue to raise the level of engagement of the UT system with the rest of Tennessee. When forging closer relationships between the system, state and local government and other entities, system officials must keep an eye on the bigger picture, he said. \u201cNow this doesn\u2019t sound original: We\u2019re not here to ask you what you can do for us, we\u2019re here to ask what we can do for the state of Tennessee.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lighting a fire under the UT System will ignite the &#8220;Greatest Decade in the History of the University of Tennessee\u201dover the next 10 years, UT System Interim President Randy Boyd said. \u201cI\u2019m excited about all the things that we\u2019re working on, all of the accomplishments, all the things we\u2019ve got planned for the future.
