Go East Tennessean!

The East Tennessean, the student-run newspaper of ETSU, won the Summit Award for Outstanding Educational Program for its 2023 yearlong celebration of its 100th anniversary year. Launched as The Chalk Line in 1923, the East Tennessean marked the anniversary with a series of events throughout 2023.

Held each spring, The Summit is ETSU’s premier recognition event for outstanding campus programs and distinguished student leaders, which celebrates the superior accomplishments of students outside the classroom.
