Alumni

From the President, Trevor Caviness '98

Hello all,

I hope everyone is having a great start to spring and a successful calving season; it is a wonderful time of year with new life all around.  As your new Alumni Association President, I am honored to work with the current board and help lead the association the best we can over the next couple years.  We have had some good initial meetings full of ideas and received an update from Dr. Garcia in which he answered several questions and discussed opportunities and challenges ahead.  We plan to have a few of these update calls throughout the year to have alignment and give input and support.  He made it clear that his door is  always open, and he is available for phone calls from alumni to discuss current program updates and initiatives.  Likewise, please reach out to me or any other board member you may know for questions you have.  A primary goal of the board is to increase communication and transparency to the alumni base. 

The program staff’s top priority, besides teaching and graduating the current class, would be recruitment for next year’s class as well, as filling the open faculty position.  They are open to any connections we as alumni may have regarding recommendations in this regard. 

As always, we hope that everyone can make as many alumni events as possible this year.  We had an excellent turnout at the TSCRA Alumni happy hour this past Saturday evening in Fort Worth, it was so great to see everyone!  Graduation is right around the corner, see y’all soon!
