- Why I became an Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Trustee: As an alum of both Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» and the University Center, the opportunity to serve the College's faculty, staff, and students as a trustee is an honor and privilege. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» never shut the door on me and offered me patience and grace as a student when I needed it the most.
- What I like most about being an Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» board member: It is great to be back in the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» family in an official capacity. As a trustee, I hope to work with the Board to continue to show our community the tremendous value Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» provides both to students on our campus and to the businesses and organizations that hire our graduates.
- How does Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» benefit the community: Dollar for dollar, it's hard to beat the return our community gets on the investment in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»'s students. These are mostly local people who stick around and invest back in McLennan County after they graduate. They serve, work, invest and grow here, which grows our community as well.
- How has your experience with Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» affected your life: I would not be here and would not have been able to experience a fraction of the things I've been able to do in my life without Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³». I was given second, third, and fourth chances as a student to mess up, learn from it and grow - as a student and as a person. Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» gave me a home, a community, a degree, and a tremendous sense of pride in our school.
