Incoming
An annual tradition that takes place as part of ETSU's Preview experience, The Plunge offers our newest students the chance to take a deep dive into community through direct, hands-on service with community partners throughout the region.
Emerging
For Emerging Leaders, we offer the Dr. Brenda White Wright Emerging Leaders Academy, an eight week program that includes an overnight Advance and eight weekly sessions that focus on topics such as stress/time management, communication, ethics/values, and conflict resolution.
This program is designed for students that have not held a leadership position on campus but are interested in getting involved. Each class of Emerging Leaders consists of 20-30 students who are nominated by faculty, staff, or other current students.
Applications for our 2026 cohort are open now! Click the ELA button below to learn more about the program and application.
Student Activities and Organizations, in partnership with other units from the Division of Student Life and Enrollment, offers a series of Leadership Development opportunities for students interested in evolving and maturing as a leader.
