Nettie Day Speakers

Leading off "Nettie Day" activities was an assembly on Tuesday, Sept. 2, featuring Leroy Ripley, Loida Valesquez, and Sally Causey (from left), all members of the Community Economic Development Network of East Tennessee (CEDNET). Each of the three speakers talked about the different activities in which they have been involved both in CEDNET and their individual organizations, and how diversity has played an important part of those organizations.

Opening Ceremony

"Nettie Day" began with an inspirational presentation to Tusculum students in the auditorium of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Center. Carlyle Walton, president and CEO of Takoma Adventist Hospital, shared with the group his thoughts derived from the biblical Book of James, which focuses on way the doing of good works provides evidence and verification for declarations of faith.
