Mayor Blake Lay was honored to represent Lawrenceburg at the investiture of UT

Southern Chancellor Dr. Melinda Arnold—a truly special moment for our community and for higher education in southern Middle Tennessee.

He also had the opportunity to connect with good friends like UT System President Randy Boyd, whose vision and leadership made the merger of Martin Methodist into the University of Tennessee System a reality. That bold step continues to open doors and create new opportunities for students right here in our region.

We’re proud of the impact UT Southern is making in Lawrenceburg and all across the entire southern Middle Tennessee region and grateful for Dr. Arnold and her vision and leadership that will guide UTS to even greater success!
