Ignite Leadership Summit (Off-Campus)

2023 IGNITE REGISTRATION

The Ignite Leadership Summit is a three-day off-campus experience for incoming students who want an experience like nothing else!

Led by Ignite Team Leaders—current students at UT, the Ignite Leadership Summit experience provides a warm welcome to Big Orange Country. Each team will also have a Facilitator—a UT faculty/staff member who volunteers to meet and welcome the new Vols alongside the Ignite Team Leaders.
