A Conversation with Patrick
What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending East Texas A&M?
At ETAMU, you will experience a big-world education within a small-town setting. You will enjoy the friendliness and homeliness of rural America while acquiring the skills and knowledge you need for life around the globe.
What do you like most about your career?
I've quickly come to cherish the people I work with. I interact daily with professors and staff who are kind and respectful, willing to listen and offer advice when necessary. The students I've had the pleasure of meeting are curious and thirsty for knowledge.
