Featured Employee

Wendy Sutherland

It is amazing to watch a fellow employee, Wendy Sutherland, put her heart into the dedicated work she performs. She is called the Freshman Admissions Gate-Keeper!!

Granted, help is given her by fellow employees, but still she directs and overlooks all actions made for each person who has applied as an incoming freshman to our campus. To be sure requirements are met, she must evaluate each high school transcript that is submitted. She then computer-loads them - which also helps advisors assist the student in registration and preparation of a career path. Everything, including necessary vaccinations, is noted. The number of freshman increase each year yet she is always answering the phone for associates and assisting other outside office employees who come her way with questions. They go straight to Wendy for their help!

Outside the work realm, she collects old cell phones to be donated for re-use by abused women; and, she has been a member of a team that visits nursing homes with animal shelter pets. Her positive attitude is heard on the phone when she calls high school counselors for needed information, and with potential applicants, as well as their interested parents' questions!

We are thankful for Wendy Sutherland to be an example of forthright service to this institution by her care, support, and interest she shows each potential student wanting to know: "How much longer until I'm admitted?", "What else do I need to do?", and "What's next?" for their beginnings on our ETSU campus.

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