Traditionally, Quest has been a college transition program to enhance academic success of historically underrepresented students entering college at East Tennessee State University. Recently, the Office of Equity and Diversity made the decision to restructure the program so that all students including incoming freshmen could benefit from the program. Quest is now a year-round, multi-year program that focuses on personal development and how to use these skills to transition from college into careers. More specifically, Quest for Success (the full name of the program) emphasizes what the program is all about...the success of our students.

Quest students shall have the opportunity to participate in soft skills workshop sessions such as time management, organization, study strategies, etiquette, and leadership skills. Additionally, through this program students will be able to gain insight into campus life and begin to build a personal network of success.
