Alumni
ETSU’s more than 66,000 alumni can be found in 60
nations throughout the world!
If you build it, they will come…and stay was the
belief of those visionaries who brought improved health care
to the region with the creation of ETSU's James
H. Quillen College of Medicine.
 During
2002 Homecoming activities, the ETSU Alumni Association unveiled
a recognition wall to honor the University's
Outstanding Alumni . This recognition wall is located
in the lobby area of the D.
P. Culp University Center.
Country Music Star Kenny
Chesney, Author Michael
Lee West,
NFL Defender Donnie
Abraham, and other successful alumni
are part of the ETSU family. Read about them in ETSU

 ETSU PRIDE
Week welcomes students to the campus and provides an
opportunity for the region's population to celebrate their
connections with the university.
During the fall 2004 Homecoming activities, we plan to recognize ETSU's
Honorary Alumni with a new wall of recognition. During
that event we will also unveil a special was saluting recognizing
the George
L. Carter Award recipients.
Friends
 Friends,
alumni, and businesses contributed over $106 million to The
Campaign for ETSU Tomorrow, our first comprehensive fundraising
campaign.
The value of the University and Foundation's more than 300
Endowments , including the Chairs
of Excellence , exceeds $42.7 million, bringing the
fund balance to more than $48.3 million.
Two new Scholarship Endowments are being established in
the Foundation through a generous gift to the university
from Congressman
James H. Quillen. His $14.6 million bequest is the largest
single contribution from an individual to ETSU.
 The
prestigious Roan
Scholars Leadership Program , which began in the fall
of 2000, graduated its first
class of four student leaders this past academic year.
With approximately 80 scholarship recipients annually, another
celebrated achievement is the ETSU Foundation
Honors Program . Since the program began in 1993, over
150 students have graduated. This number includes six graduates
of the Quillen College of
Medicine.
The ETSU Foundation ranks 432 within 3,200 institutions
according to the 2003 National
Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO)
endowment study. With the addition of Congressman Quillen's
bequest, our Foundation would rank above an additional 58
schools at 374.
