An amazing update from one of our Alum Caroline Johnston. This is what sets Tide a part from the rest…. We build not only great swimmers but great leaders! We are so proud of you Caroline and all you are doing in college. 💪🌊💙
Caroline Johnston ’24 is making her mark at Sewanee: The University of the South!
On Friday, September 18, Caroline was inducted into Sewanee’s Order of the Gown, an academic honor society dedicated to preserving the spirit, ideals, and traditions of Sewanee. Membership recognizes achievement, honor, integrity, and a commitment to community. Sophomores must earn an academic average of 3.40 or higher during their previous two semesters to qualify.
As a member of the Order, Caroline will wear her gown to classes and events across campus as a badge of academic distinction. She is pictured with Mark Fino, head coach of Sewanee’s swim team, who presented her with her gown.
Congratulations, Caroline! We are proud to celebrate this outstanding achievement!
