Family Weekend Save The Date

Parent & Family Weekend is an annual event that takes place each fall

the Buccaneer spirit embodied by our students on campus throughout

the year. This is a weekend of fun-filled events in conjunction with

ETSU Homecoming 2012 that will give families a glimpse of our cul-

ture and the energy of our vibrant campus.
