The Vols in Student Affairs program aims to increase the number of traditionally underrepresented professionals in the student affairs field and introduce student affairs to others who may be interested in a career in the industry. The program is for undergraduate students and offers a unique internship model with opportunities for students to network with peers, participate in professional development on and off campus, and engage with staff and faculty at UT to learn more about student affairs.
