Photo by Lorraine Brown.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Dr. Richard Brown confessed to being flattered when he was told about a new scholarship program named after him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy first reaction to it was that I was humbled and honored to have such a prestigious honor and recognition by the University, but after that, I was really excited about it,\u201d he said. \u201cThis will create an opportunity for access to some students who are underserved by access to higher education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFundamentally, I believe that access to higher education transforms lives for many, many years and generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown, who provided more than 38 years of service to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the University of Tennessee System, is the namesake of the new Richard Brown Inclusive Access Scholarship at UTC.<\/p>\n<p>The scholarship\u2014a collaboration of the Division of Diversity and Engagement, the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs in conjunction with the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships\u2014commemorates the contributions of Brown, who began working for the University in 1984 and rose to executive vice chancellor for administration and finance. He then took on a dual role in 2021 as a special advisor to UTC Chancellor Steven R. Angle and UT System President Randy Boyd before retiring at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRichard Brown invested decades of his life helping to build UTC into the university we are all proud of. He worked his way up through the ranks to one of the top jobs on campus,\u201d Angle said. \u201cDuring those years, he was a tireless advocate for excellence and inclusion, and he has mentored countless students and employees and been a role model for many others. These scholarships are a fitting tribute for Richard\u2019s impact here at UTC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the 2022-2023 academic year, 30 UTC students from the Chattanooga region are benefiting from this new scholarship. The students come to UTC from the following Hamilton County high schools: Brainerd, East Ridge, Hixson, The Howard School, Red Bank and Tyner Academy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe nominated students from local schools with demonstrated academic achievement,\u201d said Stacy Lightfoot, vice chancellor for the Division of Diversity and Engagement. \u201cThis scholarship provides better access for students to complete college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Brown had barriers that he overcame and he did it gracefully and graciously. When he retired, the role that he held here was one of the highest roles that you can have. To me, that is what access allows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a young child living in the Chattanooga community, Brown could not access the University that he later served for close to four decades\u2014so he is well-versed in overcoming barriers. He said having the ability to obtain both a bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree from the institution transformed his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a lifelong learner; I obtained five college degrees as a working adult, and I just believe in lifelong learning,\u201d Brown said. \u201cThat\u2019s the transformative impact that accessing the University had for me. It created this desire for continuous improvement of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those degrees as an adult learner included a pair of doctoral degrees and an MBA. He also graduated from the prestigious Harvard Business School Advanced Management Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy virtue of that, I literally became a role model for so many other students as well as young people within my own family and community who saw that I could do that. They were inspired to complete a college degree themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lightfoot said Brown was involved in drafting some of the philosophies for the scholarship, suggesting ideas for who the award should be geared toward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe helped create some of the criteria,\u201d Lightfoot recalled. \u201cWhen I talked to him about this, he was touched and added to the criteria. He said, \u2018Make sure you think about the adult learner. Make sure you think about the veteran student.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo he owns some of this process. This isn\u2019t just an award in his honor; this is an award that he helped create. I think that\u2019s what makes this special as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Brown, \u201cI think the University is appropriately interested in ensuring all students\u2014and when I say all, that is inclusive of all students, regardless of race, creed, ethnicity, color\u2014can have reasonable access to the higher education experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to make sure that students who might be on the margins, that may need a little bit of financial support, would have access to this scholarship,\u201d he continued. \u201cBy giving them access, it would transform their lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat meant more for me than anything else because, in my own personal experience, higher education truly had a transformative effect on my entire life and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46030\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"726\" data-attachment-id=\"46030\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/11\/new-scholarship-to-honor-longtime-utc-executive-dr-richard-brown\/business-empowerment-academy-18-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/10\/Business-Empowerment-Academy-18-163.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,908\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Angela Foster&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D750&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Dr. Richard Brown speaks to UTC Business Empowerment Academy participants Friday, June 29, 2018 in Fletcher Hall.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1530263846&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;University of Tennessee at Chattanooga&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;95&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Business Empowerment Academy-18&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Business Empowerment Academy-18\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Dr. Richard Brown speaks to UTC Business Empowerment Academy participants Friday, June 29, 2018 in Fletcher Hall.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/10\/Business-Empowerment-Academy-18-163-1024x726.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-46030 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/10\/Business-Empowerment-Academy-18-163-1024x726.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Brown (shown speaking at the UTC Business Empowerment Academy in 2018) provided more than 38 years of service to UTC and the University of Tennessee System.

Photo by Angela Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During his time at UTC, Brown was a pillar of the campus community, serving as a member of the executive leadership team under five chancellors and playing a vital role in the expansion of the campus across McCallie Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of crossing McCallie, UTC South Campus housing came into existence in the late 1990s, fostering the growth and upward trajectory of the University.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Yancy Freeman, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student affairs, called Brown a mentor and a walking catalog of information about UTC because of his lengthy tenure with the institution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was someone who went from working in campus safety to being arguably the second-most powerful person on campus in terms of influence and engagement and community involvement,\u201d Freeman said. \u201cHe is very connected in the community and someone who has an exemplary reputation across this city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freeman referred to Brown as a \u201cpersonal hero,\u201d saying he often leaned on him for advice and guidance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe became sort of that symbol for me of somebody who looked like me that I could connect with and sit and talk to and ask advice about anything,\u201d Freeman said.<\/p>\n<p>The new scholarship, Freeman explained, is the best of both worlds in terms of pulling together the access mission for the institution \u201cwhile honoring somebody who gave so many years of his life to the institution\u2019s improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, access is key in giving students an opportunity to get a UTC education,\u201d he said. \u201cProviding access to students who might not otherwise have an opportunity to attend gets me excited, gets me going and makes me feel like we\u2019re really making a difference in somebody\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Brown said, \u201cWhen I talk about transformation, higher education not only transforms your mental outlook and focus, but it also transforms the goals and aspirations that one has\u2014and that has been the journey for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a first-generation college graduate, I hope this scholarship will touch many first-generation college students. Being the first in my family to obtain a college degree, a terminal degree, a doctoral degree, set ripples of aspiration throughout my family and throughout the community. So that\u2019s part of the whole notion about transformation. It is transformation of the mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Richard Brown, who provided more than 38 years of service to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the University of Tennessee System, is the namesake of the new Richard Brown Inclusive Access Scholarship at UTC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/11\/new-scholarship-to-honor-longtime-utc-executive-dr-richard-brown\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":46026,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[123864,3,8244,8325,661],"tags":[119054,99228,83399,122164,117217,48134],"class_list":{"0":"post-46024","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-advancement-and-alumni","8":"category-community","9":"category-honors-and-awards","10":"category-service","11":"category-students","12":"tag-division-of-diversity-and-engagement","13":"tag-division-of-enrollment-management-and-student-affairs","14":"tag-dr-richard-brown","15":"tag-richard-brown-inclusive-access-scholarship","16":"tag-stacy-lightfoot","17":"tag-yancy-freeman","18":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
