A Conversation with Hannah
What advice would you give a student considering East Texas A&M?
East Texas A&M is a great choice for furthering your education. We offer programs that will prepare our students to go directly into their careers or that will prepare them to continue to graduate school. East Texas A&M is small enough for you to know your peers and professors but big enough to offer any organization or activity you could want.
Why is it important for students to get involved on campus?
Get involved on campus. Students who are involved on campus feel more connected and less lonely and tend to perform better in the classroom. You'll never know all that ETAMU has to offer if you do not get involved.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I love to thrift! Not only is it economical and sustainable, but it's also thrilling. You never know what you might find. I always say, “I never know what I need until I see it.”
