ASLA Tailgate
Football season is here, and that means it’s tailgating time! The UTK Student ASLA chapter kicked off the football and fall season with our annual Tailgate Fundraiser. Tables were filled to the brim with Sonny’s Bar-B-Q, and corn hole bags were airborne all day long.
Chapter members, faculty, family and friends hung out by the humanities building and reconnect with recent CoAD graduates Luke Murphree and Will Copeland and their families. We also had a showing from local professionals such as Carol R. Johnson Associates, Inc. and Angelike Angelopoulos kept the tunes going all day as our resident DJ and rolled out prizes for each of our raffle drawings.
This year our most coveted prize was the “Park Centre” lounge and ottoman. It is valued at over $500. This beautiful 100% recyclable steel furnishing from Landscape Forms went to Luke and Leah Murphree, a 2013 MLA grad who is a now working at Perkins + Will of Atlanta, GA.
The most exciting part of our tailgate was our photo booth! The booth was packed all day long and crazy outfits were worn proudly. Fitted with stick-on mustaches, toddler tutus cowboy hats, and wall-clock necklaces students to a break from the busy schedule of the semester.

Be sure to watch for more ASLA events throughout the year and see you at next year’s Student ASLA tailgate!
