Celebrating 10 outstanding alumni from the last decade who are making bold moves, creating impact and shaping what’s next.

The future of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is being built right now—and it’s being led by our young alumni!

GOLD10 is a brand-new annual recognition to spotlight ten exceptional GOLD alumni (Graduates Of the Last Decade) who have graduated within the past 10 years and are already making meaningful strides in their careers, communities and beyond.


Whether they’re leading their industries, giving back in powerful ways, or blazing entirely new trails, GOLD10 honorees represent the very best of what it means to be a Moc.


This is more than an award—it’s a celebration of ambition, leadership and impact.

We are looking for alumni who:

Graduated from UTC within the last 10 years (Spring 2015 – Fall 2025).

Are excelling personally or professionally.

Are making a difference in their community or field.

Embody the spirit and values of UTC.
