CENTER FOR GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT

The Center for Global Engagement, with the efforts of Dr. Megan Quinn in the College of Public Health, has kicked off the new Global Year Program focused on Ecuador. Global Year is a comprehensive internationalization effort involving international faculty and scholar collaboration, education abroad group and exchange programs, and projects that benefit communities across borders. This also will include opportunities for Honors students to join programs in Ecuador next year!

Matthew Rauhuff

Matthew Rauhuff, a pre-med Honors student and executive director of ETSU’s emergency medical program EM/ERGE, is creating a nonprofit startup—currently working to obtain 501(c)(3) tax exempt status and partnership with Quillen’s EQUIP, Ballad Health, and rural high schools—to provide affordable, accessible emergency medical training (CPR, AED, and First Aid training through the American Red Cross) to individuals primarily in rural and underserved communities to promote the public health, education, and economic stability of the region.
