What could possibly connect a childhood hospital stay, a teddy bear and a future at ETSU?

For Kamara Pennington, it was “Dr. Etsu” - the teddy bear she named after mistaking ETSU on a hospital whiteboard for the name of a doctor.

At just 8 years old, she had already decided ETSU was where she wanted to go, and now that dream has brought her to the Class of 2030! 🧸💙💛
