You can now call him Dr. Carson

It’s now Dr. Carson.

A long-time player in the Knoxville-Oak Ridge entrepreneurial community can now add that designation to his name. Shawn Carson, a key staffer at the now defunct Technology 2020, graduated this month from the University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville with his Ed.D.

All of us who have been around Carson knew of his passion for teaching, and no doubt all of our readers in the local area have participated in several of the workshops he has led. It’s a passion he’s been able to continue as a Lecturer with the UT’s Anderson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and also in a second role with Three Roots Capital.

Kudos to our friend for keeping multiple balls in the air while completing his doctorate.
