Bob Fisher
Bob Fisher, president of Belmont University, was named Tennessean of the Year by the Tennessean newspaper. Here is an excerpt from the story:
Largely, thanks to his leadership in bringing the state’s first-ever presidential debate to Belmont, Fisher now has another accolade to add to the walls — or the floor, as will probably happen: the 2008 Tennessean of the Year, as determined by readers and The Tennessean’s editorial board.
Fisher is one of nine local university presidents who signed a joint statement in opposition to the English Only charter amendment.
