I am actually proud of having gone to ETSU. Not sure why, except that amongst the folks I work with, go to school with etc now I am the only one. The further you get from JC the more exclusive your degree comes (and the easier it is to make shit up.)
Interesting coincidence, my law school was also founded in 1911, so next I have to find a med school that started the same year.
Nice work on the motivational poster Elizabeth (and Dave). Isn't that a fun site?
Well, as Brook has pointed out, it's an adversarial system of education at ETSU, and that has something going for it in terms of actual quality. The difficulty comes in getting respect for that in a world that only knows how to kow-tow to the dollar sign. I'd pretty much stake my smart-mouth reputation that the ivy league doesn't buy you a better education, just better connections, but the sad thing is, we all know which of those two really counts- you only have to look at our sitting president if you can't figure it out.

Yeah, I can't remember her name, but she was awesome.

remember too, our uber-masculine mascot once had earrings before the christians forced a redesign
