I grew up 45 minutes from this campus. Most of my teachers were educated there, when it was East Texas State University. I celebrate this name change. It makes sense in so many ways: 1. it pays homage to its roots as ETSU. Should rekindle connections with some alums. 2. the naming convention is consistent with one of its sister schools, West Texas A&M University. 3. the university is increasing its footprint in the DFW market. This name makes more sense for that expansion than pairing the Commerce name with Dallas. 4. as they have gone up a tier in athletics, this name seems more appropriate 5. East Texas A&M sounds regional, whereas Commerce gives it a local (and thus limited) perception I applaud this move and wish nothing but the best for them.

Kevin Eltife, chairman of The University of Texas System Board of Regents, spoke about how his mother's two main life lessons — help others and pursue an education — have guided his public service efforts for decades. "The most important thing I can do and have done in my public service the last 30 years is to do everything I can to make higher education affordable and accessible to every part of this state."

Hands down the most effective conference for educators of personal finance. Not only has the national team of Laura L. Levine Dan Hebert Joel Chrisler and many more, mastered hosting a comprehensive conference with a teacher-centered focus (it's in their mission!), they are doing incredible work ALL year long to promote why this content is critical to our nation's youth. I have leaned on all three of these individuals at one time or another since discovering their work, and often stated that #JumpStartNEC changed my classroom, not only for me, but for my students. (Mystic Dan) #DanTheMan, Laura, Joel, the entire JumpStart Team...I appreciate you for wanting my classroom to be better in providing high-quality, highly-engaging personal finance resources for ALL of my students. I wish State Departments of Education understood how this work has been comprehensive for many years, not just convenient timing in recent headlines. You understand the data and the importance of doing this correctly. Apply today!!
