🎓 Senior Spotlight 🎓

Last but not least: Landon Deal – VolWake President

Landon has been a dedicated member and officer for VolWake for four years

He’s graduating with a B.S. in Agriculture Business. After graduation, he plans to work in commercial insurance as well as boat brokerage

Favorite memory:
Sunrise surf sessions during his freshman year

His message to the club:
“VolWake has shaped and changed my college experience in the best way possible. Without it, I wouldn’t have met my best friends or my girlfriend. VolWake gave me a home I didn’t even know I needed, and I’ll forever be indebted to this club. Serving as president was the highlight of my time here at UTK and made these four years truly worth it. Thank you, VolWake! Prez, out✌🏻”

Hard to have a bad day when you’re on the water!! ☀️🏄
