So Proud

October 15th, 2009 by Regina Simmons · No Comments

We, in the Residence Life Office, like to consider our staff a family.  We have picnics together, go to the movies together, and have games nights.  It’s just like your everyday, run of the mill, tight-knit suburban family of 41.  That closeness creates a lot of pride in our staff.  We they earn a good grade, we’re here to celebrate with them.  (Conversely, on those bad scores, we’re here to lament and encourage.)  When our “kids” are recognized for their achievement, we like to acknowledge them.  Here are two updates:

Recently, Tyler Turner (he’s a blogger on here), RA in Williford Hall, was selected to attend a conference on conducting in Prague.  And, he was one of few selected to conduct Gustav Mahler’s 4th Symphony.  Tyler got to conduct the 4th movement–a huge honor and we’re so proud!

Today, Diana Comes, ‘08, will receive the National Association of Women Judges’ Justice Sandra Day O’Connor Scholarship.  (Wow, that title is longer than Diana is tall.)  Diana was an RA for two year in Trezevant Hall.  She’ll get the award at a luncheon where Sandra Day O’Connor is the keynote speaker.  Diana is currently in her second year of Law School at the University of Memphis.  Diana is an amazing woman who will do great things for the world!
