After attending Legacy Day and other campus tour opportunities over the past year, Ashley participated this week in the Clinical Residency Center's "Taste of the TEAM" event where she was able to meet Dr. Laura Bostick and Mrs. Traci Walker to learn more about secondary education programs as well as join a Thursday afternoon UTeachTech class in the Think Tank.

On Friday, the CRC collaborated with English Instructor, Michelle Jimmerson, to provide a special opportunity for Ashley to visit two college English classes on campus taught by Julia Kavinsky and Jimmerson. Ashley has a keen interest in teaching in higher education, and this was the perfect opportunity for her to see firsthand what life would be like as an English professor. Ashley was able to meet Honors College Director, Dr. Rick Simmons, interview Kavinsky and Jimmerson during their office hours, and learn more about the many learning opportunities awaiting her at Louisiana Tech.
We know that Ashley's parents, College of Engineering professor, Dr. Jim Palmer, and Gina Palmer, College of Education alumna, are very proud of Ashley and her many academic accomplishments, and we are very honored that she has chosen Louisiana Tech University to begin her college career. We would like to thank Cedar Creek guidance counselor, Stacey Hunt, for allowing us the opportunity to provide these experiences for Ashley and look forward to our continued partnership. Stay LOYAL BLUE, Ashley, and we'll see you soon at summer orientation!
