Featured Employee

Nicole Douglas

Ms. Nicole Douglas is such a wonderful ""find"" for the department of Human Development and Learning, the Clemmer College of Education, and East Tennessee State University!!!  She does her 'job' of executive aide in our department in an outstanding fashion and I would like to 'speak' about her noteworthy involvement beyond her job description.

Ms. Douglas is very interested in learning and as faculty in HDAL went through the FTL (Faculty Technology Leadership) course (two semesters -- 6 graduate credits), she would talk about how she would love to have that kind of experience.  It was arranged for her to enroll in the course and she served as a ""pilot"" member for staff at ETSU.  She went into a course that was exclusively faculty and did a wonderful job!  I know it took great courage for her to do this and she was an excellent addition to that faculty cohort!

Ms. Douglas also volunteered to be a diversity educator on campus.  She participated in 22 hours of diversity training so she could be a diversity educator and she has served in that capacity over the last year -- helping to implement the 6-hours of diversity education that is being offered to every ETSU staff and faculty member.

Ms. Douglas is an EXCELLENT employee, a compassionate and dedicated individual, and we are very proud to have her as a colleague.

Thank you, Nicole, for being with us here at ETSU.
