Acknowledgments
I would like to recognize the staff in the President’s Office who work tirelessly in support of WT, and particularly with this special endeavor, inclusive of the “Your Community, Your University” tours and the “Considering College” e-book. Under the leadership of Tracee Post, the workings of visiting and sharing insights from 132 schools in West Texas were orchestrated. School visit tours, which in some instances included meeting hundreds of students at as many as four different schools in one day, were organized by Ashley Gardner. The custom design of the “Considering College” e-book was completed by Amberly Hildebrandt, while the labor of proofing was accomplished by Jeff Mayo. Additionally, there is a host of student interns who are integral to the service and community outreach efforts of the office, especially with the 16,000 recognition letters that have been distributed in our region and beyond.
