Last week we kicked off the new semester with a trip to the challenge course! ETSU's Outdoor Adventure staff guided students and staff through the ropes course (the zipline was a big hit). Those who preferred to remain on the ground enjoyed music, donuts, and good company. We can't wait to see what this semester brings! A big thank you to the Outdoor Adventure staff!

What a great first week back it's been! These pictures don't even begin to capture all the excitement of this week. Thank you to all the students, families, staff, and faculty who work together to make it all happen.

The countdown to fall semester begins! We're especially excited for all the new faces on campus, like Zach! Zach enjoys fly fishing, loves animals, and has a YouTube channel (see the link below). We can't wait to welcome all new Bucs to campus!

Access ETSU's partnership with the Office of the Executive Director of Academic Advisement is just one way we strive for our students to be fully included at ETSU. We look forward to continuing to work with advising staff to improve student outcomes!

It may be the last day of Disability Pride Month, but the need for a more accessible world continues everyday. We can thank disability-led design and advocacy for so many things that make life easier and better, and allow everyone to participate in the world around us! What's your favorite accessibility tool?

We can't stop shouting out what the Access community is up to this summer! Ava has goals of becoming a doctor, and spent time scoping out what a future in New Orleans could look like. She loved the culture, music, and food - at one point she ate so much she literally got sick. She got to ride on a steamboat, eat at the birthplace of bananas foster, check out voodoo shops, and see Louis Armstrong's first trumpet. We're glad she had a great time, but happy she's not leaving Johnson City just yet!

Joseph is our last summer highlight this week! Joseph has been working abroad at the World Wildlife Fund of Portugal as their education department intern. He developed educational documents for teachers to use in the classroom on topics in their curriculum related to Ecology and Environmental Conservation. These documents are going into their monthly newsletter and will be sent across Portugal. Joseph has family from Portugal, so he's enjoyed getting to explore it during his time there!

We are so proud (and jealous) of what our Access community is doing over summer break!

Next up in our summer highlights is Grace! Grace has been working at Pathfinders Youth Camp. From ziplining to luaus, Grace's summer has been full of rewarding fun. We're excited to see everyone back on campus in just over a month!
