That's a wrap for the inaugural PULSE TN: Strengths-Based Leadership Intensive cohort…except, not really! While they've officially completed the program, the work will continue for the group as they launch their own Strengths-Action projects at home in their communities.

From kickoff to Grand Division meetings in Middle, West and East Tennessee, these local leaders have spent the last four months digging into UT System Grand Challenges: Overcoming Addiction, Advancing K-12 Education and Strengthening Rural Communities.

If you or someone you know is ready to "amplify the beat of local leadership for a stronger Tennessee," nominate them for next year's cohort at https://ow.ly/h6f45101aa2

Nominations are due by February 28, 2027, and will be announced soon. For questions or more info about PULSE TN, email Dr. Matt Hensley at matt.hensley[at]tennessee[dot]edu
