TENNESSEE GOVERNOR’S SCHOOL STUDENTS ARRIVE ON CAMPUS

MARTIN, Tenn. – Two Tennessee Governor’s Schools return in June to the University of

Tennessee at Martin’s main campus following last year’s virtual sessions. The program will

return to largely in-person gatherings with virtual options. The Tennessee Governor’s School for

the Agricultural Sciences runs May 29 – June 25, and the Tennessee Governor’s School for the

Humanities runs June 6 – July 2.

Both programs bring selected high school students from across the state to UT Martin to take

college courses and participate in a variety of activities. Interested students must complete an

application process and receive an invitation to attend. The Tennessee Governor’s School for the

Agricultural Sciences has 31 in-person participants and four virtual, and the Tennessee

Governor’s School for the Humanities anticipates 51 to attend and eight virtual participants.

The Tennessee Governor’s School for the Agricultural Sciences, founded in 2004, exposes

students to courses in natural resource management and animal science and provides

opportunities for hands-on interactions with working crop and livestock operations.

The Tennessee Governor’s School for the Humanities, founded in 1986, is the original

governor’s school program. Participating students may receive college credit in art history,

political science or philosophy and choose from additional non-credit courses in English

literature, history, music and a selection of four enrichment seminar activities.
