Jaci Fulton

Assistant Director

Growing up in the small town of Telephone, Texas, helped Jaci Fulton understand the importance of building close relationships with teachers and staff. She benefited greatly from these relationships when her high school counselor matched her with a scholarship to attend East Texas A&M! Since graduating with her bachelor’s and subsequent master’s in social work, Jaci has taken on the mission of lifting others up, helping them stand on their own and getting them moving in the right direction to achieve their goals. Understanding that everyone has a different path to follow, she is motivated to advocate for and educate students so they can gain independence for themselves and hopefully pay it forward by helping others along their journey.

A Conversation with Jaci

What would you tell a student who is considering East Texas A&M?

Come up with a game plan, and make sure you hold yourself accountable to it! Becoming an East Texas A&M Lion means taking advantage of the opportunities presented to you—both in and outside of the classroom—and using those opportunities to be the most successful student you can be! Learn to balance your time early to make the most of your time on campus!

What do you like most about your career?

In my position, I have achieved a great balance in how I spend my time. My position covers seven different areas, so there is always something to be done and I can switch and choose between tasks, so I never get bored! I also get to see students at every level, from incoming freshmen to walking the stage, which is very rewarding in itself.
