“The Old Oak Festival is such a wonderful and iconic Tusculum event. Since I started at Tusculum 10 years ago,
I’ve been impressed with how much the event draws in the faculty, students, the Greeneville community and Tusculum alumni. My own family loves to attend for the music, food, craft fair and car show. It really is a fantastic event for all age groups. Old Oak is also another way that my family and I interact with my students and colleagues. When we talk about developing relationships at Tusculum, events like this are a great example! My students know me personally and have witnessed my own children growing up on campus. Old Oak is another example of our close Tusculum community.”
