East Tennessee State University’s commitment to military-affiliated students extends beyond the classroom. In November, the university honored veterans through events such as the Quilts of Valor ceremony and Military Appreciation Day, featuring the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team. The recognition is backed by action: ETSU has earned Gold Military Friendly® status.
