Welcome to the ETSU Division of
University Advancement

A Message from Dr. Richard A. Manahan:

East Tennessee State University's Division of University Advancement was formally established in 1994 to better serve the university's growing number of alumni and friends. The new organizational structure allowed academic fund raising efforts to unite with goals to increase alumni support for university programs. Despite the relative youth of the University Advancement arm, ETSU boasts a long tradition of success in its fund-raising nucleus the ETSU Foundation.

Our volunteer leadership and administration are working to raise ETSU's Margin of Excellence. This margin is defined as the extension of private financial support for students and the educational mission beyond the realm of state and federal funding.

Again, welcome and thank you for taking a moment to explore our activities. Your support provides education and scholarships for our students. If you need additional information feel free to call on us at: the Office of University Advancement, ETSU Box 70721, Johnson City, TN 37614-1710, Phone: 423-439-4242.

Sincerely,

Dr. Richard A. Manahan
Vice President for University Advancement     
ETSU Foundation President/CEO
