  • Portrait of McIlhenny posing with a book, "The Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann, and brought it because he enjoys the story exploring the predicaments of living in a place where magic reigns. Originally from Henderson County, he moved to Oregon and decided to attend UNCA to be close to home. He stays for the interesting people and the "novelty above the clouds."
