People Profiles
You are the Brand
Long after graduation, it’s not the papers written or the finals taken that our alumni call to mind but rather the people that shaped them as they took this next step into their career. Our university’s identity is defined by its faculty, staff, students and alumni. Individually, we achieve great successes. Together, we transform lives
The faculty, staff, students and alumni at A&M-Commerce make up our institution’s identity–both inside and out of the classroom. We want to highlight just a few of the exceptional people here. Below you will find completed profiles that highlight their academic achievements and career success. You’ll discover their selected publications, current research and awards, and even a little about how they like to spend their time.
