“Our faculty represent the tripartite purpose of higher education: teaching, research, and service,” ETSU Provost Dr. Kimberly D. McCorkle said. “This is an institution that conducts cutting-edge research and provides a world-class education while remaining open and accessible to all. It is a place where everything we do centers on our mission to improve the quality of life for people in the region and beyond. I offer my sincerest congratulations to those faculty members who were promoted or granted tenure today and my deepest thanks to our entire faculty who embody the heart of this institution.”

In the College of Public Health, Drs. Rod Handy, Megan Quinn, and Beth O'Connell were recommended.
