UVa-Wise chancellor, student exchange roles for charity event

UVa-Wise student Cragin Harris and Chancellor David J. Prior exchanged roles during the “Chancellor for a Day” charity event on Friday, Feb. 15. For each food item donated, students had the opportunity to put their names in a drawing in hopes of being selected as the College’s chief executive. Harris was the lucky student. |
A white slip of paper adorned the windshield of Chancellor David J. Prior’s car when he left work at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise on Feb. 15. It’s not often the head honcho gets a parking ticket on his own campus, but when he became “student Prior” for a day, all bets were off.
The second annual “Chancellor for a Day” event at UVa-Wise saw Prior and student Cragin Harris of Norton trading places for the day as the result of a weeklong food drive and contest sponsored by the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH).
“Chancellor” Harris said it all started with a “what if.” His fraternity brothers wanted to know what would happen “if” Harris became chancellor for a day. So they donated as many cans of food as they could and entered Harris’ name into the contest every time.
