The Blue & Gold Club ETSU Athletics' Alumni Network brought in partnership with the ETSU National Alumni Association

THE BLUE & GOLD CLUB

The Blue & Gold Club is alumni network for all former ETSU student-athletes, spirit squad members, student managers, and student training staff members. The goal of the Blue & Gold Club is to honor the history of our alumni, highlight their careers both on and off the field, while also providing both former and current Buccaneers exciting opportunities to engage with their extended Blue & Gold family.

ABOUT THE BLUE & GOLD CLUB

Founded in April 1926 and originally known as the "T" Club, the Blue & Gold Club was formed for all sports to promote school spirit, sportsmanship and the wearing of the University’s Letters. The goal of the Letterwinner's club is to build a bridge between all athletic alumni, the Athletics Department, and the University.

Operating under the umbrella of the ETSU Athletics Excellence Fund and in conjunction with the ETSU National Alumni Association, the Blue & Gold Club works to reconnect former student-athletes, trainers, and, managers with ETSU. The lifelong bonds and friendships that have formed while participating in ETSU Athletics are recognized as an important aspect of the ETSU Family. It is our hope this kinship between former student-athletes and the University forged through competition will continue through participation in the Blue & Gold Club!

The Blue & Gold Club will share regular athletics updates and host several events and programs throughout the year, including team reunions, alumni socials, student-alumni networking, career development, family days and more. We encourage our athletics alumni to contact us if they are looking to obtain tickets to a game, planning a trip to campus and would like to visit practice or tour the facilities, or seeking to reconnect with a former teammate, coach, or the University.
