Featured Employee

Lakie Hensley

Lakie Hensley is an Area Coordinator in Housing. She is a compassionate person who takes her job at ETSU very seriously. She places the students safety and welfare foremost in the responsibilities of her job. She never expects recognition or accolades for her service to our students and the University. Recently, she saw a student's need and immediately used personal resources and began to seek assistance from the community to address the issue and meet the need. She takes pride in serving the University on various committees and projects. She projects a good image for the University that reaches out into the surrounding community and businesses. She is most considerate of her peers and ready to lend a helping hand when needed. She is truly an asset to the Department of Housing and Residence Life, which is much stronger because of her loyalty and commitment to being the best Area Coordinator that she can be.

Thank you, Lakie, for being with us here at ETSU !
