Trading
Places
In the spring, Carson-Newman's Mortar Board
national honor society chapter, Panathenées,
caught the attention of campus as well as East
Tennessee media when it hosted "Trading Places:
President-Student Swap Day." The event raised
over $7,000 in just a few days to benefit an
endowed scholarship as well as helping support
BOOST, an afterschool program for children
of Jefferson County and coordinated through
Carson-Newman's Bonner Center. The opportunity
allowed one student (Analyn Borthick, pictured) to
become the University's president for one day, while
President Randall O'Brien agreed to don t-shirt,
jeans and backpack to head back to the classroom
as a student.
