On the third anniversary of the University of Tennessee acquiring Martin Methodist College, UT Press released a new book on the purchase of the institution, “University of Tennessee Southern: The Rebirth of an Institution.”

In the book, authors Mark La Branche, UT Southern chancellor emeritus, and Jennifer Sicking, UT System director of publications and executive editor of Our Tennessee magazine, detail the steps taken to merge Martin Methodist College, a faith-based institution, with the University of Tennessee System.

Faculty and staff members share their thoughts and concerns as well as their preparations for the integration of two institutions of higher education with one passion for expanding educational opportunities for the residents of Tennessee.

“University of Tennessee Southern: The Rebirth of an Institution” may be ordered at utpress.org.
