ETSU Quarterly Economic Report

2026: 1st Quarter

Welcome to the 2026 Q1 edition of the ETSU Quarterly Economic Report. On campus, we are excitedly entering the Spring semester. We are finalizing plans for the 4th Annual Appalachian Highlands Economic Forum and we are excited to welcome Tom Barkin, President and CEO of the Richmond Federal Reserve and member of the Federal Open Market Committee as our keynote speaker for the Forum. We hope to see you on campus on March 27, 2026. The registration for tickets to the forum will be available soon. We hope you find some valuable information in the Report.

Thank you and Go Bucs!!
