MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
"As an educator, few things are more rewarding than witnessing students achieve their academic goals and graduate from college. It represents the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice on the part of the students and their families. Seeing students walk across the stage, receive their diplomas, and move on to the next phase of their lives is a reminder of the transformative power of education and the impact that it can have on the lives of individuals and their communities."

Open Guitar Building Project  
Started in 2010 by Associate Professor Hemphill, the ETSU Guitar Building Program is affiliated with the NSF-sponsored, National STEM Guitar Project to increase student engagement in the STEM disciplines. Guitar design, prototyping & build activities use a hands-on mix of 2D CADD, 3D modeling, traditional woodworking, CNC routing and laser etching operations in a custom shop-type environment to create unique electric solid body and semi-hollow body electric guitars.  Designs of common and specialty acoustic instrument building including luthiers’ tooling, molds, templates, jigs and fixtures as well as alternative bracing are available from this repository.
