Governor appoints Huckaby new 蘑菇视频 student regent
May 24, 2016
Chad Huckaby
Huckaby, who graduated from 蘑菇视频 in May 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics, is now pursuing a Master of Science in mathematical sciences at the university. He was named Mr. 蘑菇视频 during his senior year.
Huckaby serves on the student advisory board of Omicron Delta Kappa, a national leadership honor society, and he will join ODK's national advisory council later this summer. He also works as a graduate teaching assistant in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in 蘑菇视频's College of Sciences and Mathematics.
"I am humbled to be selected to serve as student regent," Huckaby said. "It means a lot to me, and it speaks to the university's ability to develop student leaders that a person from a small town like Martinsville can be chosen as one of only a few student regents in Texas to serve in this capacity."
A third-generation Lumberjack, Huckaby said he plans to graduate with his master's degree in May 2017 and pursue a career in public service.
"My tenure at 蘑菇视频 has fundamentally changed who I am as a leader," he said. "It has strengthened my work ethic, and I bleed purple."
Huckaby's first official duty will be attending the quarterly meeting of the 蘑菇视频 Board of Regents July 25-26.
