About the Cover: President Randall O'Brien runs through a
tunnel of support composed of members of the Eagles soccer
teams. O'Brien issued a challenge before the fi rst home soccer
game. Aimed at promoting fan support, the president committed
to skydiving if 1,000 fans attended the Sept. 14 opening game.
Eagles fans didn't disappoint. Keeping his end of the deal,
O'Brien jumped with Skydive East Tennessee.

EDITOR'SNOTE
Ahhhh, a new year, a fresh start. The University
Relations Offi ce welcomes you to a newly
redesigned Journey. As we continue to feature
our beloved Carson-Newman, you will notice
more online companion videos to stories, a
clean design that's easy on the eyes, and a
publication boasting a larger overall size.
And as you can see with the included Forest
Stewardship Council logo on this page, all this
is wrapped up nice and tight in environmental-
friendly paper, a Journey fi rst. So join us as we
continue this exciting journey together.
