Skyhawk Creed

Built to honor the value and principles of this institution. The Skyhawk creed was created to make all people on campus feel a sense of belonging, value, and empowered to learn, teach, work, and grow at UTM. Not only does the creed help show value in different viewpoints, but it also emphasizes respecting and appreciating differences across identities. The creed is a mindset that our campus community strives to live by. The creed is as follows:

The University of Tennessee at Martin is an educational community committed to excellence in personal integrity and intellectual growth in a diverse and inclusive environment. As a voluntary member of this community: I will respect the rights and property of all persons and treat them with dignity and civility. I will take responsibility for my actions and hold others accountable for theirs, while demonstrating a concern for others, their feelings, and their sense of belonging. I will make right choices that will demonstrate academic integrity, discourage bigotry and hate, and strive to learn from the unique differences of people and opinions. I pledge to model these principles and values and encourage others to follow my example.
