Charlotte Newton is a non-traditional who at 62 received her Associate of Applied Science degree in Medical Assisting and commented on having Congressman Blackburn as her commencement speaker, “It was an honor to have a politician that is concerned for the continued education of the adults of Tennessee to be the speaker at our graduation,” said new graduate Newton.
