What is life like
as an ETSU student? You’ll
have the opportunity to
study and live in a beautiful
area. Northeast Tennessee
is in the Appalachian mountains,
within easy driving distance
of the neighboring states
of North Carolina, Virginia,
Kentucky, and Georgia.
ETSU has faculty from across
the country and the world.
 They
are known for their teaching
expertise, areas of research,
and a strong focus on community
service and interdisciplinary
scholarship. You’ll
get to know your teachers,
and they’ll get to
know you—who you
are, what you bring to
your learning experiences,
and what your hopes and
dreams are for the future.
Your teachers will use
many methods to help you
learn, from small group
seminars to online courses
with "virtual"
discussions and electronic
resources.
In my own teaching,
I help students to understand
the latest knowledge in
the field and—just
as important—to develop
good habits of thinking.
Our class sessions are
"laboratories"
in which my students and
I try on new ideas and
new perspectives and practice
ways to support questioning,
clear communication and
relationship building.
I hope that as my students
gain knowledge, they will
also learn more about themselves
and develop their human
capacity for caring and
social concern.
Wherever your
college career takes you,
I hope it helps you experience
these benefits, too.
