ETSU Legacy Circle
The Legacy Circle is comprised of alumni and friends who have shown their support for the university and its students by making a planned or deferred gift to the ETSU Foundation. If you have included the ETSU Foundation in your estate plans through a planned gift then you qualify for Legacy Circle membership. Legacy Circle membership at ETSU does not require any continued obligations or dues, but simply allows ETSU to thank you and recognize you, if desired, for the plans you have made. Supporting ETSU in this manner may be an excellent way of benefiting your personal financial, estate, and tax planning while simultaneously advancing the vision of ETSU.
