So what about...

...the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations? Well, friends, the OAPR (try saying that out loud- its pretty funny!) is for the interim under the very much loved eye of Mr. Bryan Benson. You all know Bryan right? Pilot extraordinaire...funny man all around...AMAZING story teller? If you do not know Bryan, swing by and say "hello."

Bryan is an LETU alumnus and has been with the University for oodles of years. Yes sir, Bryan knows LETU inside out, backwards and forwards! Which is why he and Kendall make a great team! (Kendall has been with LETU over 18 years - AWESOMENESS!) Joining Bryan and Kendall in all things Alumni and Parent related is Ms. Kenda Bedford, another fine transplant to the Piney Woods! Kenda is actually a LeTourneau Mom herself.
And did you know that Bryan, Kendall and Kenda have planned an action-packed Hangar Party for you this year? That's right: THE BALLOON GLOW PARTY CONTINUES!!!!

WOWZA!

My apologies for my failure to post! It has been crazy in Marta-land - but crazy busy in a VERRA VERRA good way. I am now the Director of International Studies for LETU and am so excited to begin this new post! Its a great way to continue to serve and I get to work with really cool people such as:

Carlton Mitchell (Director of Student Support Services)

Corey Ross (Dean of Students)

Linda Higgs (International and Student Support Coordinator)

I'll be interviewing these folks this month so that YOU can get to know them better!

Its exciting for LETU to create the Office of International Studies ("OIS"). As we forge ahead with our new vision of "every workplace, every nation", the OIS will lead the way in bringing the world to LETU and taking LETU global! Already, so many of our students travel abroad through the CCCU's Best Semester program and it is my hope that in the future, ALL LETU grads will leave our campus with at least ONE passport stamp. Isn't that exciting?

What do you think? In your student days, did you travel abroad with LETU? If you did not, what trip would you have loved to make? Let me know.

Ciao!
