Here’s a picture taken in the past 6 months.

In 1986, as a member of the undergraduate program, I always thought of myself as "just another teacher in training".  The day I was honored with an award that carried the name of Joseph Hooten, I realized the magnitude of the profession I was about to enter.

 

Teaching is not a job, but a mission.  It is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of boys and girls, to be a molder of dreams.  It deserves to be revered as such.  Dr. Hooten would remind you today to never forget that truth.  Best of luck in all that you do.
