President's Message
In the last edition of ETSU Today, I introduced our new university tagline: Bucs Go Beyond. This concise yet powerful phrase encapsulates not just our rich history of achievements, but also serves as an energetic rallying cry, urging us to consistently strive for higher levels of excellence. Unsurprisingly, our campus community has answered this call with numerous noteworthy successes throughout the past few months. Our accomplishments, led by the diligence, talent, and hard work of our ETSU family, have shone brightly. Our women’s basketball team, for instance, etched a new record for the most single-season wins in program history. Adding to this, our ETSU Marching Bucs earned a coveted position as one of 10 marching bands across the nation selected to perform in the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in 2024. These accomplishments are not isolated events, but are deeply rooted in the unwavering commitment, generosity, and creativity of our regional community, our alumni, and our supporters across the globe. Our ability to cultivate meaningful partnerships and foster ongoing collaboration forms the bedrock of our mission and stands as one of ETSU’s most formidable strengths. For example, through our extensive community network, ETSU Health provided health care services to nearly 355,000 patients throughout our region in the last year alone. During that time, ETSU Health’s partnership with the Ballad Health Niswonger Children’s Hospital added the region’s only board-certified pediatric rheumatologist as well as critically needed providers among several pediatric specialties, including neonatology, pulmonology, and gastroenterology. The veterans resource fair hosted on campus last spring by ETSU’s Office of Military and Veteran Services served as yet another excellent demonstration of this collaborative spirit. More than 70 organizations participated in the event, which represented the largest gathering of veterans service representatives in the region and served as a conduit to vital resources and networks of support. The recent historic investment in ETSU’s Gatton College of Pharmacy provided by the Tennessee General Assembly also is indicative of the deep connection between ETSU and the community it serves. The provision of a generous $2.5 million in annually recurring state funds fortifies our ability to provide world-class pharmacy education and improve health care access in our rural communities. This milestone was made possible only through the collective efforts of our local elected officials, students, faculty, staff, and community leaders. Our region’s vibrant spirit was further celebrated when ETSU was named the Top Adventure College in the Southeast, an accolade that would not have been possible without the collective support of our community. That spirit also was on full display when our students were recognized by Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett for leading the state in promoting voter turnout and civic engagement via social media. These accomplishments beautifully reflect our Bucs Go Beyond ethos, our deep roots within our communities, and our steadfast determination to reach ever greater heights. Godspeed, and Go Bucs! - Brian Noland, President
