The ETSU College of Business and Technology (CBAT) had a busy September 2026 with events ranging from Accounting Networking Night to the first PRSSA meeting.

Designing Your Life Course

Building the connection between students’ hands, brains, and ideas, one brick at a time.

The CBAT Designing Your Life course uses LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® to help students visualize and represent their thoughts as they explore concepts they'll use during this period of transition throughout college and beyond.

Great Lecture Series: Dr. Kelly Price

Looking back, there are so many objects, places, or people that serve as prompts, guiding us toward where we’re meant to be.

For Dr. Kelly Price of the Department of Marketing, she understands the power of a prompt, both in life and today's marketing landscape.

From sorority sweaters and yearbooks to her niece, countless prompts have helped shape her journey, leading to milestones like her recent promotion to full professor and presenting as part of the Great Lecture Series!
