Our School is part of the ETSU College of Arts and Sciences, which just got a new name! Thanks to the Bachman's for their generosity, which will help to fund quality higher education in our region for many years to come!

It is a historic day for ETSU as our largest college has a new name!

The ETSU Board of Trustees has approved the naming of the Phil and Martha Bachman College of Arts and Sciences in recognition of a transformative $15 million gift from the Phil and Martha Bachman Foundation.

This extraordinary investment will support scholarships, provide capital support for the new Academic Building and the ongoing renovation of Brown Hall, and create additional opportunities for generations of students to come. 💙💛
