The University of Tennessee Institute for Public Service (IPS) takes the expertise of a statewide university to the communities of Tennessee by helping leaders in government, business and law enforcement solve real-world problems every day.
In fiscal year 2008, this assistance meant more than $1 billion of economic impact in Tennessee as local governments and industries increased revenue, won contracts or reduced operating costs.
