Register to Participate (Individual and Groups)
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene, employees were allowed up to 15 hours of leave to help with relief and recovery work. As we knew then, and as becomes clearer each day, real recovery from the storm takes years, not weeks or months. The summer of 2025, ETSU will be coordinating a series of Hurricane Recovery Workdays for departments, offices, and units to come together during a workday and give back through direct, hands-on service.
Interested offices are invited to join us for one of the upcoming virtual orientations to get more information and ask questions. Additional information regarding the workdays will be posted here following the orientations.
