“I’m looking forward to serving the students who come to our Asheville campus from all over the U.S. and from countries throughout the world,” Nick South said. “The most rewarding thing is to see students walk across the stage at graduation. It’s a very satisfying moment.”
In Knoxville, South serves as varsity coach of the Webb High School golf team, and he has been an active volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and a member of the Young Professionals of Knoxville.
