President Fowler announces C-N transitions
As the fall semester begins on Carson-Newman’s campus, President Charles A. Fowler announced transitions within the University. The transitional plan positions the University for success in carrying out its mission.
“Carson-Newman is richly blessed and there is perhaps no better example of this than the devotion demonstrated by those who serve our university,” Fowler said. “These transitions speak to the confidence this university places in each of these members of our community. Our Christ-centered mission deserves our highest and most noble service. These leaders showcase our mission in their service each day through their caring leadership and commitment to excellence.”
