Websites
The university’s website is our most visible and valuable digital communication and marketing platform. Its primary purpose is to communicate information from and about the university to external audiences in order to advance the institution’s mission.
The Office of Innovative Technologies (OIT) and the Office of Communications and Marketing (OCM) work together to provide guidance and technology solutions for the university’s utk.edu website domain.
