He received an early morning call from University of Tennessee System President Randy Boyd on Jan. 26 asking if Cavalier would serve as UT Martin interim chancellor. Later that same morning, Dr. Keith Carver, who had begun his seventh year as UT Martin chancellor, was announced as the new leader for the UT Institute of Agriculture. Cavalier would be taking over the reins of the university from a highly popular chancellor.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Fast forward to March 1, his official first day as interim chancellor, and life has changed significantly for UT Martin’s former chief academic officer. Cavalier has appointed his interim successor in Dr. Stephanie Kolitsch, completed a scheduled accreditation visit by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, and quickly settled into the role of leading a primary regional university in the UT System. He responded to questions about his new post and his plans for leading the university until a permanent successor for Carver is named.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>What went through your mind when President Boyd contacted you Jan. 26?</strong> </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“I was certainly surprised, and it was sad. Working with Keith Carver has been just such a joy and a delight for the last five years, and he\'s meant so much to this campus. I didn\'t know that this was going to happen, but I appreciate President Boyd having the faith in me to be able to manage this transition.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>You’ve served as UT Martin’s chief academic officer since 2018. How has that role prepared you to serve as interim chancellor? </strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“I think that during that time, I\'ve gotten to know the people on this campus and at the regional centers. I’ve worked very closely with the faculty, and I think that\'s a very important piece of it. The second thing I think is over that time, I\'ve been involved in all of the planning work that we\'ve done to set the course for the next five years. So, I feel like being in the middle of that has helped me to say, ‘Okay, at the core, how can I help UTM to achieve the goals of the plans?’”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>What are a couple of your proudest accomplishments in your previous UT Martin position?</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p> “I think the first one is we\'ve got a sense of what we\'re going to do with new programs and enrollment to make sure we grow, and that has been important obviously after COVID. I would say that we\'ve increased and improved our ability to use data when we\'re making decisions. We\'ve got an outstanding director of institutional research. We\'ve got a director of retention who is fantastic and has been able to come to work every day and ask, ‘How do we help students succeed and persist?’ I think those things are critical to the health of this institution.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>What are some of your main goals as interim chancellor?</strong> </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“I think, first, to continue doing the work that we\'ve started doing this semester and before that. We just had our updated Strategic Plan approved by the UT Board of Trustees, and it has some very clear recommendations that we\'re going to pursue. I think it\'s important that whoever the permanent chancellor is can see that UTM is moving forward and in good health. I want to make sure that I’m contributing to that every day. I think also there are folks in our community who are still grieving about the fact that Chancellor Carver is no longer in Martin, and I’m one of them. It’s just going to take some time, and I want to be part of helping folks who are in that spot to feel better about what’s happening even though Chancellor Carver’s gone.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>How can people best support you at interim chancellor?</strong> </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“I think first and foremost, continuing to do the work that we\'ve done. So, if you\'ve been a part of a committee that\'s been formed to work on a particular piece of the Strategic Plan, continue to be all in on that. Recognize that we\'ve got some opportunities here that we really need to pursue as a result of Blue Oval City and Ford. Let’s keep trying to improve the institution even though the tendency might be, ‘Well, we need to stick it in neutral and just sit where we are.’”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Who are the important people in your life who are supporting you away from the university?</strong> </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“My wife, Carol, is the most important person, and she has been extremely supportive in all of this. She, too, was surprised, and of course, my whole family loves Keith Carver. My boys have enjoyed spending time with him. We\'re an empty nest family now: one son is in California, one is in Washington, D.C., and the third is a sophomore in college outside of Philadelphia. It’s hard to be so far away from them, but we stay in touch with Snapchat and Facetime.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>You were a college athlete during your undergraduate years. How did that experience shape you into the person and professional you are today? </strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“I was a goalie in lacrosse and soccer in college, and that position is one where there\'s tremendous pressure at certain moments to perform. I think that\'s similar to university administration. You have to make sure that you’re performing well all the time but especially in key moments. The experiences I had playing sports and specifically that position gave me confidence that I can do that. I cherish the experiences that I had playing sports in college, and I think student athletes have a wonderful extra part of their college experience that they will remember always.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->','Cavalier discusses his appointment as UT Martin Interim Chancellor','Dr. Philip Acree Cavalier is accustomed to serving as a university administrator, but his newest position came as a bit of a surprise.

Broadcasting a Rose Bowl game is first on his professional bucket list, and he began the journey toward realizing that dream after graduating from the University of Tennessee at Martin on May 6 with a degree in mass media and strategic communication.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Gregory received his degree during the second of two spring commencement exercises in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center. His early interest in sports broadcasting has grown into a passion for Gregory who developed his skills while following major college sports in his hometown of Knoxville.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The stepson of Kerry Witcher, vice president for development and alumni relations of the UT Foundation, Inc., Gregory attended middle and high school at Christian Academy of Knoxville. He learned about football as a manager for the team and began broadcasting baseball, basketball, lacrosse, soccer and softball for CAK’s Warrior Network, which is part of the NFHS Network that broadcasts high school sports nationally. His work led to being named his senior year as a top-three finalist for best high school sportscaster in the nation.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":4795,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img src=\"https://www.utm.edu/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Gregory_Family-2023.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4795\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Although he followed UT athletics during his middle school and high school years, Gregory is an unabashed Auburn Tigers fan and counts the late Auburn radio voice Rod Bramblett as one of his sports broadcast idols along with CBS’s Kevin Harlan and Fox Sports’ Gus Johnson. “They (these announcers) got me excited about the game because they were excited about what was happening on the field or court or whatever it was,” he said, adding that he doesn’t attempt to imitate them. “But definitely I’ve taken some stuff that they’ve done and how they call games and adapted that to what I try to do.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The prospect of broadcasting games as a freshman led Gregory to choose UT Martin for his college experience starting in fall 2019. “The broadcasting program and, more specifically, the opportunity to call games as a student, and especially NCAA Division I sports (were the selling points),” he said. His first on-air experience came that fall at a Westview High School football game followed by his first Division I college game as the Skyhawks played Southern Illinois University Carbondale.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>His WUTM 90.3 “The Hawk” student broadcasting debuts were anything but perfect as he pushed through a sinus infection during the Westview football game. Then for the SIU Carbondale game, a different challenge emerged – a case of nerves. His broadcast partner, fellow student John Thornton, advised him to calm down, “And once I got through the first couple minutes and first couple drives, I calmed down a whole lot more,” he remembered. “But I definitely was a very, very nervous broadcaster going into that first (college) game.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Gregory’s broadcasting world expanded as a member of WUTM’s “The Bench” sports talk show team. The show primarily covers UT Martin sports but ventures into news and conversation about the sports world in general. He learned quickly that engaging sports talk is “not about just getting in front of the mic and talking.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“It’s about the prep work that you have to do for an hour show,” he said. “You’ve got to spend definitely more than an hour prepping and make sure that it’s a good show. …There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes.” He also credited UT Martin alum John Hatler, Skyhawk football play-by-play announcer, for making him a better member of the talk show team.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“I remember my sophomore year, it was really tough for me because that was the first year of (being WUTM) sports director and getting stuff together,” Gregory said. “(I was) really stressed out and felt like I wasn’t being myself and talking enough on the show like a conversation.” As a show guest that year, Hatler helped Gregory relax and enjoy the conversations that make sports talk shows popular.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While “The Bench” allowed him to expand his talents, play-by-play remains Gregory’s primary focus, and his classes, teachers and on-air experiences strengthened important skills. “I think the biggest thing is improving my vocabulary and not saying the same thing over and over again,” he said. “… You need to have different ways of describing the moment, and that’s probably been one of the biggest things to overcome and get better at as a broadcaster.” Proper technique is also important, and he learned about speaking through his chest instead of through his throat from Dr. Richard Robinson, professor and WUTM adviser. Robinson’s guidance and consistent critiquing of Gregory’s work made the longtime faculty member both a coach and father figure to Gregory during his four years at Martin.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":4798,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img src=\"https://www.utm.edu/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Gregory_WUTM-2023-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4798\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Robinson remembers seeing Gregory’s potential even before his college career began. Once Gregory committed to UT Martin, he submitted several clips of his high school games to Robinson for review to which the longtime faculty member responded with a comprehensive written critique. “His response was that he would try to correct all of his weak points before coming to our campus as a freshman,” Robinson said in an email. “His energy and desire to be the best that he could be told me that he would be coachable and that he would work hard to improve and be the best broadcaster that he could be.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Gregory hasn’t missed an opportunity be get behind the mic. His play-by-play experiences have created several memorable moments, including last fall’s Oct. 22 trip to Neyland Stadium to broadcast the Skyhawks-Vols football game and the team later claiming a share of back-to-back OVC titles with a home win against Eastern Illinois at Hardy Graham Stadium. Then in March there was the 2023 Ohio Valley Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship in Evansville, Indiana, when the Skyhawk men came from 10 points behind in the closing minutes to defeat Southern Illinois University Evansville and advance the team to the tournament’s final four.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While Gregory has many UT Martin sports memories, one high school football game will forever rank among his favorite play-by-play accomplishments. In 2021, Gregory and fellow student broadcaster, Daariq Burton, called the Blue Cross Bowl TSSAA Class 2A Championship when Westview High School won its first state football championship against Hampton High School at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga. Beyond being part of a state football championship, this experience sealed a special relationship with the Martin area. “I think that that was a big part for me was to be able to represent this community and the city of Martin and Weakley County to go and call that game,” he said. “That is something that I’ll hold onto the rest of my life. It was one of the most special experiences ever.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Gregory’s work hasn’t gone unnoticed. He has been a part of two “Best College Radio Station in the South” recognitions in 2022-23 by the Southeast Journalism Conference for WUTM 90.3 “The Hawk.” Gregory was also part of the ESPN+ crew that won the 2021-22 “OVC Call of the Year” award from the Ohio Valley Conference for his call on a homerun during a Skyhawk baseball game. He closed out his senior year by receiving the Outstanding Senior Award for broadcasting from the Department of Mass Media and Strategic Communication.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Thanks to hard work and perseverance, Gregory enters the competitive sports broadcasting profession with his bachelor’s degree plus seven valuable years of broadcasting experience. An entry-level position in radio that offers an opportunity to call games might be next. Farther down the road, he dreams of broadcasting major sports events, and he’ll pursue his dream “as long as God wants me to pursue it.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>His best advice to anyone aiming to achieve something special is to “say yes to anything,” something he learned at a seminar attended by Bob Kesling, Voice of the Tennessee Vols. In the seminar, Kesling talked about people who told him they aspired to one day have his position, but he found that most were unwilling to make sacrifices and do the small jobs that lead to bigger opportunities. Running cameras or carrying TV cable aren’t glamorous but could be tickets to later landing in the broadcast booth.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The details also matter, and Gregory learned through his years of broadcasting that one of the best ways to improve is simply listen to your own work. He’s relived many of his game broadcasts in his quest to master his craft, and May 6, he heard the best sound of all as his name was called from the commencement stage by longtime mentor and adviser Richard Robinson, one of the commencement readers. “Davis has learned a lot, and whoever hires him will be lucky to get a young, talented broadcaster who will do an exceptional job,” Robinson wrote. “He has great potential as a sports broadcast talent.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>So, if the television executives selecting the Rose Bowl game announcing team seek a fresh new voice to call the action, Davis Gregory just might be available on a future New Year’s Day. He will appreciate the moment and the many roads he’s traveled on the way to Pasadena for the opportunity to broadcast the “Granddaddy of Them All.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->','Today the Skyhawks, tomorrow the Rose Bowl - broadcasting career next step for UT Martin graduate','Identifying a career path is challenging for many people, but not for Davis Gregory.

The pups, Dolly and Miss Doc, will be available for counseling sessions and on-campus events with a goal of engaging the university community with student health.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The Student Health and Counseling Services staff decided the campus needed this extra support after researching the positive impacts of dogs on college campuses.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“Studies show that students have a lower heart rate and less anxiety when they are interacting with dogs,” said Shannon Deal, director of Student Health and Counseling Services. “We want students to have the option to be comforted by Dolly and Miss Doc after a hard day or week.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The dogs came from local breeders Clint and Charity Riley, 2001 UTM graduates, and are sponsored in part by Dr. Rodney “Doc” Thomsen, professor emeritus of agricultural economics. Thomsen graduated from UT Martin with his undergraduate degree in agricultural education in 1971 and returned to teach as an agricultural economics faculty member from 1975 to 2002. He was the longtime director of UT Martin’s West Tennessee Agricultural Pavilion. After hearing about the need for therapy dogs at his alma mater, he purchased “Miss Doc” and is helping fund the therapy program.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The dogs, still only a few months old, will be in therapy training until their first birthday in October. Neel Durbin, former director of Dyersburg City Schools, is working in conjunction with Student Health and Counseling Services to train the dogs.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“His (Durbin) philosophy is that we should lead the training, and he should lead us,” said Deal. “We will be working with the dogs daily, so it is important that they are comfortable with us and our leadership.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While they won’t be fully certified for months, Dolly and Miss Doc will be available for socialization. Students can request to have the dogs in their therapy sessions, and the counselors will decide on a case-by-case basis the benefits for each student. Students not in counseling sessions are welcome to stop by Student Health and Counseling Services at any time to see the pups, as long as they aren’t scheduled for another visit.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>UT Martin Student Health and Counseling Services is committed to delivering professional mental and physical health services to the student body. By adding therapy dogs to existing health and counseling services, faculty and staff hope to improve emotional, intellectual, spiritual and social well-being for all UT Martin students.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To follow Dolly and Miss Doc on Instagram, visit @utmtherapydogtors.

The pups, Dolly and Miss Doc, will be available for counseling sessions and on-campus events with a goal of engaging the university community with student health.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The Student Health and Counseling Services staff decided the campus needed this extra support after researching the positive impacts of dogs on college campuses.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“Studies show that students have a lower heart rate and less anxiety when they are interacting with dogs,” said Shannon Deal, director of Student Health and Counseling Services. “We want students to have the option to be comforted by Dolly and Miss Doc after a hard day or week.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The dogs came from local breeders Clint and Charity Riley, 2001 UTM graduates, and are sponsored in part by Dr. Rodney “Doc” Thomsen, professor emeritus of agricultural economics. Thomsen graduated from UT Martin with his undergraduate degree in agricultural education in 1971 and returned to teach as an agricultural economics faculty member from 1975 to 2002. He was the longtime director of UT Martin’s West Tennessee Agricultural Pavilion. After hearing about the need for therapy dogs at his alma mater, he purchased “Miss Doc” and is helping fund the therapy program.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The dogs, still only a few months old, will be in therapy training until their first birthday in October. Neel Durbin, former director of Dyersburg City Schools, is working in conjunction with Student Health and Counseling Services to train the dogs.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“His (Durbin) philosophy is that we should lead the training, and he should lead us,” said Deal. “We will be working with the dogs daily, so it is important that they are comfortable with us and our leadership.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While they won’t be fully certified for months, Dolly and Miss Doc will be available for socialization. Students can request to have the dogs in their therapy sessions, and the counselors will decide on a case-by-case basis the benefits for each student. Students not in counseling sessions are welcome to stop by Student Health and Counseling Services at any time to see the pups, as long as they aren’t scheduled for another visit.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>UT Martin Student Health and Counseling Services is committed to delivering professional mental and physical health services to the student body. By adding therapy dogs to existing health and counseling services, faculty and staff hope to improve emotional, intellectual, spiritual and social well-being for all UT Martin students.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To follow Dolly and Miss Doc on Instagram, visit @utmtherapydogtors.

This was the message to University of Tennessee at Martin graduates from Ford Motor Co. executive Liliana Ramirez during spring commencement exercises Saturday, May 6, in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center.

The project’s goal was to generate ideas for the farm that would help create possible revenue streams.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The farm was established in 1870 by Williams’ African American ancestors, John and Harriet Strayhorn Moore.

Morris is lecturer of agricultural economics.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“We appreciate Ms. Williams agreeing to allow our students to assist with this project,” said Fuqua. “This was not only a learning experience for our students but also allowed for Mr. Danny Morris to use his expertise in the agricultural industry to assist Ms. Williams and her family on ideas to generate additional revenue on their heritage farm.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Students involved in the project were Drew Grimmit, a senior agricultural business major from Hampshire, Shelby Petty, a senior agricultural business major from Reagan, and Sarah White, a junior agricultural business major from Collierville. Both Grimmit and Petty have since graduated. Each student had a different role in the project, then came together at the end to create the final proposal.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In Morris’ course outline, students in advanced farm and ranch management have a goal of developing problem-solving and risk-management skills needed on the modern farm or ranch operation. Students must also use spreadsheets to perform production planning and analysis of farm and ranch problems with linear programming, simulations and other tools. Morris said this real-world experience helped them reach their objectives.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“The agricultural business program prides itself in offering experiential-learning opportunities for our students. This helps our students learn that what we are teaching them is not just theory but has real-world application.” Morris said. “The class became very engaged in the project and produced an excellent product. I could not be any prouder of my students.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For more information about partnerships, contact Fuqua at <a href=\"mailto:lfuqua@utm.edu\">lfuqua@utm.edu</a>.

Fuqua knew that a partnership between Danny Morris’ advanced farm and ranch management course and the Moore Family Century Farm would be a perfect fit. Morris is lecturer of agricultural economics.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“We appreciate Ms. Williams agreeing to allow our students to assist with this project,” said Fuqua. “This was not only a learning experience for our students but also allowed for Mr. Danny Morris to use his expertise in the agricultural industry to assist Ms. Williams and her family on ideas to generate additional revenue on their heritage farm.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Students involved in the project were Drew Grimmit, a senior agricultural business major from Hampshire, Shelby Petty, a senior agricultural business major from Reagan, and Sarah White, a junior agricultural business major from Collierville. Both Grimmit and Petty have since graduated. Each student had a different role in the project, then came together at the end to create the final proposal.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In Morris’ course outline, students in advanced farm and ranch management have a goal of developing problem-solving and risk-management skills needed on the modern farm or ranch operation. Students must also use spreadsheets to perform production planning and analysis of farm and ranch problems with linear programming, simulations and other tools. Morris said this real-world experience helped them reach their objectives.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“The agricultural business program prides itself in offering experiential-learning opportunities for our students. This helps our students learn that what we are teaching them is not just theory but has real-world application.” Morris said. “The class became very engaged in the project and produced an excellent product. I could not be any prouder of my students.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For more information about partnerships, contact Fuqua at <a href=\"mailto:lfuqua@utm.edu\">lfuqua@utm.edu</a>.

Morel or the passing of the World War I hero in service to his country, no story should fade with time. “These courageous men and women paid the ultimate sacrifice so that of course we can be free in this country,” he said. “We can never let their stories be forgotten.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cavin is a Martin native and UT Martin agriculture graduate who retired in July 2004 following 34 years of military service.

He then worked for the Lockheed Martin Corp. and retired in March 2013 after serving as a vice president in two different roles with the company.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cavin began by saying he spoke at this event for fallen military members who could not speak for themselves. He quoted President Abraham Lincoln who said, “‘Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.’”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“Memorial Day, perhaps more than any other holiday, was born of human necessity – the need to pay tribute and to honor the men and women whose sacrifice exceeds all others,” he said, later adding, “They all paid the price willingly for an ideal, not for a political party, not for a dictator, and surely not for the medals they earned. They paid it for you and me and everyone who breathes fresh air as an American.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cavin said members of the U.S. armed forces have answered the call for military service throughout the country’s history not because war is good but sometimes necessary. “Our soldiers fought and died not for the glory of war but for the prize of freedom,” he said. “The words of philosopher John Stuart Mill say it best: War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling, which thinks that nothing is worth war, is far worse.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As America observes Memorial Day, Cavin noted that fewer people relate to military service. “Today less than 1% of America know what it means to put on a uniform and be prepared to give it all if called upon,” he said. He recalled the name of the last American killed in combat – Staff Sgt. Ryan Krause who died at Kabul Airport in Afghanistan – noting that people generally remember sports heroes’ names but not Krause who died serving his country.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“Families of our fallen carry a huge burden. We can never understand your pain,” he said. “We can only grieve alongside you, and many of us have done that. For as you have lost a treasured mother, father, brother, sister; we have lost a piece of the fiber that makes America.” As the country celebrates a national holiday, he urged everyone not to lose sight of its true meaning.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“As we remember these brave warriors and their comrades in arms on this Memorial Day 2023 … we look to the future as we do to the past,” he said. “In today’s world, freedom comes cloaked in uncertainty. America still relies on her sons and daughters to defend her liberty.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Cavin closed his remarks by quoting Isaiah 6:8 from the Bible: “‘Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Who shall I send, and who will go for us?’” He said the response from members of the military has always been, “Here am I. Send me.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>He thanked the audience for attending and said, “You have chosen to honor America’s soul, its generations of fallen warriors. May they rest in peace.”</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In addition to the speakers, the program included presentation of the colors by UT Martin Army ROTC Skyhawk Battalion cadets and the national anthem sung by Dr. Roberto Mancusi, professor of music. The university’s Department of Public Safety and Martin Police Department presented a 21-gun salute, and taps were played by Jonah Simmons, a junior music major from Greenfield, and Aaron MacDonald, a senior music major from Henry. Cadet Logan Sakarapanee, an MBA student from Mt.
