A full auditorium applauded Tim Wise, anti-racism author, Tuesday night as he walked on stage in the Martha Street Culp Auditorium to deliver his speech: "But Some of my Best Friends and My President are Black: Challenging Racism in the Age of Obama." Wise was asked to visit ETSU as part of the Race Relations Dialogue Task Force that was formed last year after a blackface incident occurred at a fraternity party.
An action-packed week of activities will begin for the ETSU community on Sept. 24, as Initiative for Clean Energy holds this year's first environmental awareness event on campus. Beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, the first of a series of environmental films will play at the Ball Hall Auditorium, Room 127, ICE President Lance Lewis said.
