Additional Info:
Student Association for Young Children (SAYC) is an organization for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff of ETSU that want to promote the growth, development and well-being of young children. We participate in many on-campus as well as off-campus events including Homecoming, Relay for Life and volunteer opportunities at local elementary schools. We host a Family Fun Day in the Spring semester every year. This event is open to all students of East Tennessee State University. Students, faculty, alumni, children and friends can come out and enjoy a day of fun as they go around the gym to centers of interest. We also attend at least one early childhood conference each year. In addition, SAYC works closely with Little Bucs and the Child Study Center. If this is for you, we encourage you to join our organization!
