Friends and donors gathered recently to celebrate Scot Danforth, retired director of The University of Tennessee Press, at Books, Beer and Banjos. The event lauded his thirty years of service to UT and raised funds for a new endowment named in his honor.
The Scot Danforth UT Press Director Endowment supports the UT Press by offsetting the cost of the UT Press director’s priorities, which may include publications and marketing costs, and the implementation of innovative projects that address the rapidly changing landscape of scholarly publishing.
