KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The University of Tennessee has named a
classroom after NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, who started a new
endowment for his alma mater.
Manning was the top speech communications graduate in spring
1997 and he received the College of Communication and Information's
Hileman Distinguished Alumni Award in 2007.
The college said the new endowment is called the Peyton Manning
Communications Enrichment, which will provide funding support for
educational initiatives within the college.
The classroom is located in room 317 of the Communications
Building. Manning also has a road named after him near the
university's football stadium and a scholarship for freshman
participating in the UT Honors Program.
