Dear Charley (Charley Deal is assistant vice chancellor for alumni relations):
I wanted to drop you a note expressing my appreciation for all the great work you and your staff did in putting on the reunion for we UTJC grads. You always do such a wonderful job and that makes our return about as good as it could be.
Thank you again for this reunion-I will continue to attend them all as long as possible. As I have told you before, UT Martin holds a unique and treasured place in my memory and always will.
Warmest personal regards,
Ed Williamson Pensacola, Fla. _________ Mr. Grimes (Bud Grimes is director of the Office of University Relations):
I’m not sure who should receive this email, but I wanted to let someone at the university know how much my family and I appreciate the efforts that make the UT Martin Honor Band such an enriching experience for the students that attend. This past weekend marked the fourth year that my high school junior has attended the honor band and has grown so much as a result of the quality instruction that has been woven into the program year after year. My older son is now a sophomore at UTM majoring in music and chemistry. His selection of college to attend and major areas of study were due to the depth of instruction he received through private instruction by UTM staff and his attending the UTM Honor Band for five years. Dr. Jones, Dr. Hill, Dr. Simmons, supporting faculty and the UTM students that make the Honor Band possible, provide not only an enriching opportunity to the students that attend, but also a needed service that feeds back into the communities where the students reside.
Dyersburg, TN ___________ Dr. Toston (Dr. Margaret Toston is Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs): Dear UT Martin Administration:
I recently went through the process of assisting my child in his college search and enrollment. I had never been to UT Martin before we did a campus visit and tour this past spring. It has a BEAUTIFUL campus and I was, and continue to be, so impressed with the level of contact and concern the administration showed in his enrollment, housing, financial aid, etc... It is a real change for me because I went to a different state university and had a different experience. I had to really dig in and really watch out for myself every step of the way. It never seemed like anyone was looking out for me or trying to coordinate the process. It seems that you view prospective students with a caring, excellent customer-service approach. The faculty and staff of UT Martin are doing a lot of things right. I want you to know that your efforts and focus are not going unnoticed. Sincerely,
(The following letter was submitted as part of the Kid College 25th anniversary observance.)
“I was trying to remember how old I was when I enrolled in Dr. Gary Young's Kid College course in entrepreneurship. I think it was about 20 years ago (oh my!). However, that course set in motion the career I have today in economics and is the prime reason I continue my work in economic education. I constantly give credit to this program from UTM as well! I knew the field I wanted to pursue at the age of 13 and have never looked back. I obtained a Ph.D. in economics from Auburn University in 2003, and I am very thankful for programs such as this offering such a wide variety of exposure to young children instilling in them the faith and knowledge they can do whatever they desire! Many congrats on 25 years of success! “
