Loved listening to our students today and learning more about @UTHSC’s Accelerated Three-Year MD Program. Students Johnson Phung, Akanee Angel and Alex Wood will graduate in three years instead of four, resulting in 25% less debt. Better yet, they plan to return and serve their communities across Tennessee!

Today we had the honor of welcoming @jackiesdream865 to their new permanent home at @covhealthpark. This is exactly what we envisioned: A thriving new stadium district that brings people together around food, entertainment, and community. Jackies's Dream fits right into that story! A local favorite known for incredible Southern comfort cooking, now growing deeper roots and helping shape this next chapter for downtown Knoxville!

Opening Day for @AppyLeague Baseball! This is baseball at its purest, played in communities that love the game. We hope to see you at the ballpark this season! appyleague.com/schedule

Outside of my personal family, no other family has had a bigger impact on my life than the Haslam’s. The same would be true for the State of Tennessee and for The University of Tennessee. Today is just another great example. Thank you, Jimmy and Dee for your continued investment in the future of UT.

Honored to join the Talkin' Tennessee with Yvonnca Podcast after two years in the making! We talked about the incredible people of Tennessee and the values that have shaped Jenny's and my commitment to giving back, investing locally, and helping make this the greatest decade in @UTSystemNews history. A few themes that continue to guide us: leave every trail better than you found it, dream big (BHAGs), and never lose sight of the community that shaped you. Thanks for listening! talkintnwithyvonnca.com

First win of the day! Congratulations, Splendora!

Tomorrow, Seismic Beauty returns to the Santa Margarita Stakes as defending champion!

Post time: 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET. bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/…

Welcome Savannah Bananas to @covhealthpark! Incredible energy, great merch, and such a fun night for Knoxville in the most intimate venue @TheSavBananas have played in 600 games! We were honored to host them. @YellowTuxJesse has built something special. Fun, creative entertainment paired with genuinely great baseball! Excited to read Fans First!

An off day for the Lady Vols softball team turned into a great night at @covhealthpark watching @smokiesbaseball! The president of @TheSavBananas, Jared Orton, was there ahead of tomorrow’s game, so Knoxville is seeing plenty of orange 🍊and bananas 🍌this week!

Thanks to .@wbir and Inside Tennessee for the opportunity to talk about the momentum happening across the UT System. We’re in the midst of the greatest decade in UT history, driven by record enrollment, research growth, student success and the growing impact of our campuses and institutes across Tennessee. Appreciate the conversation and the chance to share more about where we’re headed. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=OMiKw0fU…

UT has the 3rd largest @USArmy ROTC in America trailing only Texas A&M and Virginia Tech, but I think the BEST! So thankful for these young men and women and all those who support them. Go Vols! Go Army!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, my sister, Jenny, and all the amazing moms out there! 💐

Jenny and I support @SmokiesFriends because we love the Smokies and appreciate what they do for our environment and economy. And to be with the amazing people that share our passion for our national park. The people’s park!

Tennessee’s economy doesn’t grow by chance. It grows through strong partnerships. At UT, we’re working alongside communities across the state — from farms and factories to hospitals and city halls — to build Tennessee’s workforce, strengthen businesses and expand opportunities in every corner of the state. tennessee.edu/news/column/ut…

Full day at the Kentucky Oakes! Now @KentuckyDerby Day. Counting down the hours until our race. Nervous! 😬
