2023 IGNITE REGISTRATION
Ignite 865, our on-campus experience, is a three-day community engagement, service-oriented leadership experience that introduces students to our Scruffy City through cultural, outdoor, and service experiences. We hope that students see Knoxville as a home and not just a four-year destination for college.
Ignite Team Leaders will lead students through activities highlighting Knoxville’s history and culture. Participants will also be able to meet various city leaders during the program.
The program’s home base is on campus. Participants will live in a residence hall with their leaders and participate in day and evening activities. The $200 charged at registration includes lodging on campus, six meals, city excursions, transportation to and from excursion sites, a t-shirt, and program materials.
Students attending the August session will have the opportunity to move into their Fall housing resident hall early.
