The cover feature examined “Tennessee's Promise to High School Seniors,” the state's landmark program offering graduating students tuition-free access to community and technical college — a policy with enormous stakes for local families weighing the cost of higher education, and one the magazine gave the serious attention it deserved.
“The Wettest Egg Hunt Ever” brought springtime fun with a splashy twist on the Easter tradition, while the “Citizen's Police Academy” feature offered a look inside local law enforcement. The health pages were especially full: “No Pressure… But Let's Lower Your Blood Pressure!” tackled hypertension, “Go With Your Gut” explored digestive health, and “Hip Pain: Common Causes and Treatment Options” helped readers understand a frequent source of discomfort. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery coverage rounded things out.
The recurring departments round out a March number that moves from a landmark education policy to a splashy egg hunt to a full slate of practical health — substantive where it counts, playful where it can be, as spring arrives.
The Tennessee Promise feature caught the program in its very first year, as the class of 2015 prepared for college that fall with no worries about rising tuition, thanks to the state's pledge of two free years at a community or technical college. A companion note, “Presidential Praise,” recorded the national attention: on a January visit to Knoxville, President Obama singled out Tennessee's plan to cover community college for its high-school seniors as a model worth following.
