UT Martin Chancellor on State Team to Increase Four-Year College Completion Rates

University of Tennessee at Martin

University of Tennessee at Martin Chancellor Keith Carver is on a state team leading an effort to increase four-year college completion rates. 

According to a release, Carver participated in the national Complete College America Summer Action Summit this week along with 36 other states discussing related national and state policies.

Nonprofit education advocacy group Complete College America states 41% of full-time students at four-year flagship schools and 19% at non-flagship schools complete bachelor degree requirements in a four-year period. They say the number goes up to 75% within a six-year period.

UT Martin implemented in 2016 a four-year academic plan for undergraduates.

Matt Markgraf joined the WKMS team as a student in January 2007. He's served in a variety of roles over the years: as News Director March 2016-September 2019 and previously as the New Media & Promotions Coordinator beginning in 2011. Prior to that, he was a graduate and undergraduate assistant. He is currently the host of the international music show Imported on Sunday nights at 10 p.m.
