Featured Employee

Officer Jerry Hughes

Officer Jerry Hughes is a standard bearer of ETSU Pride! He goes about his job of promoting our University to everyone he meets. He has implemented several State of Tennessee initiatives and has given 150%, thus perpetuating and reflecting our desire here at ETSU to be involved in our local communities. He has positively impacted the Tri-Cities, the Tri-State region, and the whole state of Tennessee. He is involved in Click It or Ticket and Booze It or Lose It, which are multi-law enforcement campaigns involving area police. He is also involved in local anti-drug efforts, such as ETSU BADD and the collaborative youth effort involving Boy Scouts of America and Learning for Life, which eventually became a joint effort between ETSU Department of Public Safety and University School (Law Enforcement Explorer Post 7713). The Explorer Post keeps statistics on our community seat belt use and has been involved in all of the on-campus traffic road blocks over the last several years. Hughes is committed to making campus a safer place.
