Timothy Guthrie serves as the student recruiter for UT-ORII’s three interdisciplinary graduate programs in Energy Science and Engineering, Data Science and Engineering, and Genome Science and Technology, all at UT Knoxville.  Guthrie also participates in recruitment initiatives for UT-ORII’s Student Mentoring and Research Training (SMaRT) summer internship program.

Before joining UT-ORII, Guthrie led undergraduate and graduate recruitment efforts for six years at Carson-Newman University. He also served the institution in graduate advising and adjunct faculty capacities.

Guthrie grew up in Knoxville. After graduating from Central High School, he earned both his bachelor’s degree in psychology and master’s degree in business administration (leadership) from Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tenn.

When he’s not out with his wife exploring all Knoxville has to offer, he’s usually reading a good book next to his cat.
