Belonging and Engagement
The UT Libraries Belonging and Engagement Committee is tasked with programming and activities to address cultural awareness within the University of Tennessee Libraries. As a group, we hold discussions and volunteer at library- and campus-wide events, to learn from and engage with multicultural communities and groups. We expect members to be willing to grapple with or confront or address uncomfortable topics.
To join us, find our membership guidelines here.
What are we up to?


Fifty-Four Faces at the McClung Museum
UT Libraries Belonging and Engagement Committee invited colleagues to join the team for an enlightening tour of the McClung Museum, Fifty-Four Faces exhibit. This project honors 54 individuals who lost their lives due to gun violence as one of the campus cultural Pride Month programs.

International Fest 2022
The BE Committee hosted a booth at the 2022 International Festival, hosted by the International House, which spotlighted cultural and ethnic foods. Interested onlookers can visit a LibGuide full of excellent recipes for international food and customs, or check out a cookbook from another country at Hodges Library!
