President's Message

In just a few weeks, the fall 2022 semester will begin. Nothing matches the excitement of being on a university campus in the days leading up to the start of a new academic year. Overnight, the population on campus will climb by nearly 15,000 as students return to our residence halls and classrooms. Our Dining Hall, the Basler Center for Physical Activity, Sherrod Library, the Quad, and other popular campus spots will be bustling. A new group of faculty will arrive on campus to begin their ETSU journey, and they will be greeted by our returning faculty who are back in their offices following a summer of teaching, professional activity, and rest. Our 2021-22 academic year was a milestone for ETSU as it brought the return of many traditions and celebrations that were paused when the pandemic began. Homecoming provided an opportunity for alumni to return to their campus home and engage with their friends. New academic programs moved forward, including our occupational therapy program, which welcomed its first class. Historic news came from Nashville as funding was provided for major capital projects on campus, and an increase in the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship was announced, the first increase since this program was created during the early 2000s. Numerous strategic opportunities for ETSU were identified in the Committee for 125 Chapter II report, which was approved by our Board of Trustees. The Campaign for ETSU, our comprehensive capital campaign, continued with positive momentum, and, of course, our football team advanced to the FCS quarterfinals. Did you know HERO Sports released its FCS Preseason Top-25 poll and the Bucs are slated fifth overall? Homecoming 2022 will be here in the blink of an eye. I encourage you to please make time for you and your family to return to campus the third week of October and participate in some of our Homecoming festivities leading up to our football game against Samford on October 22. In closing, the past academic year was a time of humble reflection for me and my family as we celebrated 10 years as members of the ETSU community. It has been my distinct honor to serve as the president of this world-class institution, and I thank each of you for your support of our students, faculty, and staff. This is an institution that puts people first and that believes in the transformative power of higher education. We are blessed to call East Tennessee State University our home. Sincerely, - Brian Noland, President
