Tombras School student organizations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Registered student organizations operate independently of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with some receiving guidance and support from university departments. The university encourages student organizations to promote civil and social awareness, but it does not endorse their activities or viewpoints. To view a full list of registered organizations, visit VOLink<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership, leadership, and all events and programming associated with student organizations are open to all students. All student organizations receive equal consideration by the college and the university.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
