ETSU International Friendship Families
Imagine -- after a year of taking tests, then submitting application forms and academic credentials to several schools in the United States, you choose ETSU as the place to further your studies. You go to the United States Consulate (which may be located far away from your home) and apply for the student visa, which you fortunately receive after a second interview with a Consulate official. You purchase a plane ticket, pack, say goodbye to your friends and family, and settle in the economy section of a 767 plane for the long haul to the United States. Would *YOU* serve as a friend for an ETSU student that would offer support to an international student far from home? Click here for more.

Alumni Return to the Classroom

Each fall, as part of homecoming activities, many distinguished alumni return to campus to participate as "Professor for a Day." This unique program, growing in popularity, benefits students and guest professors alike. Visiting alumni from a variety of career backgrounds have an opportunity to share their insights about the working world, career options, and trends in the workforce, and to offer suggestions to students as they prepare for their careers. Alumni interested in being involved in this program should contact the alumni office.
