Forever ETSU: A Legacy of Impact for Quillen

Forever ETSU means Forever Quillen, a celebration of the lasting impact made by supporters like you. Whether you’re a current medical student, resident, alumni, faculty, staff, or family member, your dedication helps make Quillen College of Medicine a place of excellence.

Throughout our history, the strength of Quillen has been built by individuals who care deeply about the Appalachian community and ensuring access to quality care for all patients in need. We wouldn’t be one of the nation’s leading institutions for rural medicine and primary care training without the vision and generosity of those who supported us in the past—and the hundreds of alumni and leaders who continue to invest in our mission.

Your gift to Quillen College of Medicine makes it possible for future physicians to receive the highest quality education. By supporting Quillen scholarships, you enable students to focus on their training without the burden of excessive financial strain. You help us innovate, grow, and advance in our mission to serve.

From April 20 through April 26, you have the opportunity to join us in shaping the future during Forever ETSU.

We invite you to give today to the area that resonates most with you. Your generosity will help us continue to make a difference. We ask for your support in advancing these critical priorities:

· Quillen College of Medicine Top Priorities Fund – Provide unrestricted support where it’s needed most

· Partners in Medicine Scholarship – Support students who exhibit academic excellence and superior leadership qualities

· Quillen Center for Surgical Innovation & Training – Enhance interprofessional education, research, and technology

· Quillen Veterans Scholarship – Honor those who serve our country and support veterans studying medicine at Quillen

· Global Health Initiatives Support Fund – Support international health care service-learning experiences for students, residents, and faculty

· White Coat Fund (QCOM Student Affairs) – Award White Coats to incoming medical students and support student events throughout the academic year

· Medical Student Emergency Fund – Provide assistance to medical students who experience an unexpected crisis

Many have helped us reach this moment. Your support will ensure that we continue to move forward.

Thank you for your commitment to our mission. Together, we are shaping the future of medicine.
