Okay, let’s get to it. We’re going to head over to Cherokee Lake. That’s just a few miles from Carson-Newman’s campus, where we’re going to meet Lee Rose. Because Carson-Newman is nestled in between Cherokee and Douglas lakes, a new outdoor adventure seems to be around every corner. With breathtaking scenery, stunning views, and lots of opportunities to explore nature, Carson-Newman students, like Lee Rose, can experience God’s creation at its finest. Lee Rose, you are on.

– Thanks Alex. Hello everyone. Growing up, I spent most of my free time outdoors, and I knew I wanted to attend university where I could channel my love for taking adventures. At Carson-Newman, we are minutes away from here, beautiful Cherokee lake, a favorite spot for students to relax and refresh. The two beautiful lakes are known for their clear blue water, majestic views of our east Tennessee mountains, and several different species of fish, drawing fishermen from all across the country, like me. That’s right. I’m a member of the Eagle Anglers Fishing Team where we are ranked fourth in the nation. And we have the unique opportunity to travel all across the country, competing in collegiate level tournaments while at the same time, drawing attention to Carson-Newman as a Christian university. In addition, we are just a short drive from the Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg area, home to Dolly Parton’s Dollywood, with endless entertainment, rides, and even a waterpark. Dollywood is a theme park with true Southern charm. And it’s surrounded by the breathtaking views of the great Smoky Mountains. And if you’re looking for city life, downtown Knoxville is just a few miles down the road. Knoxville is home to the Knoxville Zoo, several different museums, and my favorite spot, Market Square. Since the 1860s, Market Square has been one of the most popular places in their region to shop, work, and eat. As a Carson-Newman student, my calendar is pretty full, but I always try to take the time to adore the location and all of the fun it brings. And to top it off, my Carson-Newman experience has enabled me to grow as an individual, strengthen my Christian faith, and reach my full potential. Sending it to you, Alex.

– From Dollywood to downtown Knoxville, I can tell there are some amazing places in and around Carson-Newman University, just waiting for students to explore. Thanks so much, Lee Rose. And if you’re cooking up some of that fish for dinner tonight, let me know because I definitely want a taste And good luck to all the Eagle Anglers this coming year. Take Care.
