Vonnegut is not a UT alum. He was sent to UT in 1943 to participate in the Army Specialized Training Program, which was a 5 month war-time effort to create specialists in a variety of fields (Engineering in Vonnegut's case).
An exerpt from a Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library article...A student in chemical engineering when the war started, Bob had been selected to receive training in chemical warfare at the University of Tennessee-until, as he said, “…they decided, we don’t really need college graduates, we need fresh cannon fodder. That’s you!”
So...UT offered him a little inspiration for Slaughterhouse Five

Ricardo Martinelli- President of Panama
Came here to post that. We have a sitting President of a foreign country. That's not too shabby.
I'm curious how many other heads of states were educated here in the USA.

That honor rests solely with G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery. And dont forget John C Stennis. How many of these other scrubs listed by other schools have a fricking nuclear-powered aircraft carrier named after them?
