Notable Women of ETSU

The Notable Women of ETSU Award was created to honor and
celebrate notable women by:
- exposing ETSU and the surrounding community to the expertise and accomplishments of women academics on our campus;
- providing a forum for the exchange of ideas, research, and projects that are generated by women faculty; and
- identifying women faculty at ETSU whose work has advanced our understanding of women and their lives.
