Ignite
Welcome to the Tennessee Family! For over 20 years, Ignite has been the premier program for welcoming Vols to our campus. Every year, hundreds of students participate as they transition to Rocky Top.
Our program aims to connect students and facilitate experiences to promote social, personal, and leadership success. As an extended orientation experience, Ignite hopes to instill a passion for the University of Tennessee, inspire a commitment to student success, and ignite your leadership potential. Ignite is where the Volunteer experience begins.

Cancellations & Refunds Policy:
Due to the nature of the Ignite program and the necessity for early planning and purchasing of supplies, no refunds are available for cancellations. If a student has a medical or family emergency and wishes to cancel their Ignite session, documentation must be submitted to leadserve@utk.edu for a refund to be considered.
If space is available in the desired session, the switch will be made for a $25 processing fee. The $25 processing fee will be placed on the student’s MyUTK account.
