A Conversation with Mr. Anderson

What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending A&M-Commerce?

A&M-Commerce is a well-established and recognized institution in Northeast Texas. While it is well known for its education and music programs, it also boasts a new and thriving nursing program in a state-of-the-art facility and opportunities to participate in research across many disciplines. The campus is inviting and friendly.

Tell us about a project you are currently working on or recently completed.

I lead projects for the library with the goal of making information more readily available for our community of learners. In Fall 2019, I led a project to change our library system to a new platform with increased abilities and greatly enhanced account features. In Summer 2020, I led a project to bring a new information discovery system online, which enhances researchers’ ability to find resources. In Fall 2020, I led a project to integrate a product between the library's system and the online course management system that will allow faculty and students access to course material directly in the course management system.
