Featured Employee

Teresa Brooks Taylor

Teresa Brooks Taylor has done a superior job with the Service-Learning Program, averaging 1,000 students in 10 to 30 hour community service placements connected to a class each academic year. This involves support of the faculty and their course goals, knowledge of regional community agencies and the people they serve, as well as student support and guidance.

This past year Teresa added the supervision of the America Reads tutor program. This corps of 40 undergraduate students serving as reading tutors in the local schools provides much needed assistance to teachers in teaching at-risk children good reading skills. Each tutor received training in literacy education, travels to various assigned schools and spends 30 to 40 minutes with each child. The tutors enjoy working with her and the children receive lifelong skills in reading.

We commend Teresa for her work and success in making a difference in so many lives.

Thank you, Teresa, for being with us here at ETSU !
