East Tennessee State University’s Opal Frye-Clark and Dr. Natalie Smith are among
the recipients of the 2024 Harold Love Outstanding Community Service Awards. The
Love Awards, administered by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC), recognize
the community service of students and faculty/staff at Tennessee colleges and universities.
The program is named for the late Rep. Harold Love, who was instrumental in passing
the legislation which created the awards in 1991.
