If you want to have a great time on campus, you need to get involved in some way. If you just stay in your dorm all the time, you won’t have any fun, but once you get involved you’ll find that there is so much fun to experience on campus!

A Conversation with Nathan
What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending East Texas A&M University?
East Texas A&M is an excellent school. The faculty and staff are some of the most caring people you will ever meet. Even though the university is now in NCAA Division I, it still has the same feel as a small-town school. Immerse yourself in the college experience. Commerce will be what you make of it; if you get involved, you will have the best time of your life!
What do you like most about your career?
I love that I can help students navigate their college career. College can be very scary and everyone needs help navigating this new world. That is what I am here for. I will help you figure out what classes you need to take or anything else. Even if you just want someone to talk to, I'll be that person for you.
How do you help students at East Texas A&M University?
I advise students about classes they should take to complete their major. As an academic advisor, students will meet with me to discuss classes they need to take to complete their major quickly and efficiently. When students come into my office, we will discuss the remaining hours they need to graduate and the courses required for their major. We will also produce a basic schedule for them that is in their best interest as a student.
What advice would you give a prospective students considering East Texas A&M?
Don't be afraid of Commerce because it is a small town. It is what you make of it! Get involved and your time here will be great!
Why is it important for students to get involved on campus?
If you want to have a great time on campus, you need to get involved in some way. If you just stay in your dorm all the time, you won't have any fun, but once you get involved you'll find that there is so much fun to experience on campus!
