ME4UT was established in 2000 to assist the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in recruiting and building relationships with African American students interested in attending the University of Tennessee. Students in the organization committed 60 volunteer hours each year and facilitated three overnight campus visits for minority students and their families. Students helped organize the events and to plan workshops during which they shared their experiences at UT. Members received an hourly wage and were given priority in registration. In February 2010 the three student-recruiting groups (Ambassador Scholars, ME4UT, and Orange Pride) were combined into a single student-recruiting group of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
