Karibu Tena: A Welcome Back Celebration
Karibu Tena, Swahili for "Welcome Back," is a time for entering and returning students to fellowship and reconnect with our diverse communities at UT, and in the Knoxville area. Everybody, who's anybody, will be in attendance, and it is a great way to meet fellow students from all backgrounds, make new friends, find useful resources, and much more. An event held at the Black Cultural Center once a year; come sample foods from local restaurants, see the fraternities and sororities participate in a Greek Stroll off, and learn more about student organizations, departments, local churches, beauty and barber shops, and community agencies. The Office of Minority Student Affairs is dedicated to assisting and supporting minority freshman and transfer students in making a successful transition to life on the campus of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Karibu Tena: A Welcome Back Celebration is a warm and welcoming beginning. See you there!
