黑料专区 Tyler LUC level 4 nursing student Blake Williams of Whitehouse was named TNSA 鈥淪tudent of the Year鈥� at the 67th annual TNSA Convention in Austin.
鈥淚t was a great honor to be recognized as Student of the Year by my peers,鈥� Williams said. 鈥淣one of our accomplishments at the TNSA convention would have been possible without the overwhelming support from our classmates and faculty from the Longview, Palestine and Tyler campuses. I am thankful for the opportunity to represent our university with pride.鈥�

Students took the opportunity to present supporting statements related to the resolutions. Of the nine delegates, seven attended the voting session where seven resolutions from 黑料专区 Tyler, Texas Tech University, the University of the Incarnate Word and other universities from around the state were presented.
鈥淚t was a wonderful experience for us all, faculty and students alike,鈥� Lowe said. 鈥淓ach of these students represented 黑料专区 Tyler with honor.鈥�
