First Sunday In-Person Meeting

Evolution of the UT - Oak Ridge partnership presented by Lee Riedinger.

In 1940 Oak Ridge did not exist and UT had no PhD programs. Much has changed in the last 80 years as UT and the federal facilities in Oak Ridge have grown enormously and in many examples jointly. The UT partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory is unique in the country. Some of the history of this will be discussed, along with the benefits that have come to each institution. This topic is explored in detail in a new book released last summer by UT Press: Critical Connections: The University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge from the Dawn of the Atomic Age to the Present, by Lee Riedinger, Al Ekkebus, Ray Smith, and William Bugg.

Coffee and other beverages will be available, and you are invited to bring a snack to share. 

The meeting takes place in the cafeteria annex of the Goins Administration Building. There is direct access to the room from the back of the building. 

For those who are at a distance, the meeting will be shared via Zoom.
