Featured Employee

Michele Banner

Michele Banner is an Advisor in the Clemmer College of Education and she is amazing! She works closely with students in the college and they are able to reach goals through her guidance. She is respectful, caring, and invites the opportunity to really get to know the advisees with whom she works. She also works closely with 2-year colleges in the area on articulation. She travels regularly to 2-year colleges to advise students on those campuses who are interested in matriculating at ETSU. She is such a wonderful ambassador for our campus.

Michele is also an individual who is interested in making the environment in which she works a healthy environment for colleagues. She brings her respect, compassion, and caring to colleagues as well as helps to keep the Clemmer College of Education a place that is inviting and enhancing rather than oppressive. She is a very strong and positive presence in the college and throughout the University. Her skills are outstanding and they make a huge difference and an equal difference is made through what she gives of herself – her heart and her soul.

Thank you, Michele, for being with us here at ETSU!
