Video: Honouring and Serving Veterans at TXST
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I’m grateful that this year Beth and I will celebrate our first holiday season as members of the Texas State University family. In the November episode of The Current, I want to take this opportunity to give thanks to our veterans and military service men and women. I had the privilege of interviewing Jimmy Sellers, the president of our student organization for veterans, about his service to our country and the importance of supporting veteran students. |

Check out my Top Ten Moments for highlights of my favorite recent experiences.
