show moreDr. Jay Blair Blackburn, President of East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas, joins Dave Quinn on this episode of Gone To Texas to discuss the exciting synergy between Marshall, Texas and ETBU.
People are on the search for a higher quality of life within the place they work, and in small-town East Texas, there are more options that are packaged with a high quality of life. ETBU is expanding to help not only create opportunities for its students, but to also build a workforce that will attract companies to smaller cities, like Marshall.
Dr. Blackburn discusses the partnership between the City of Marshall and the University, and why this partnership is so vital to the community as a whole. He also talks about the holistic approach ETBU has taken in building their workforce, in addition to the opportunities they’re creating with a new project called Synergy Park.
