The latest issue of the AT&T Real Yellow pages directory features an illustration of the University of Texas at Tyler (UTT.) This significantly includes two UTT cheerleaders and the school’s mascot “Swoop” in front of the R. Don Cowan Fine and Performing Arts Center, which will host the AT&T Broadway Series.
State Representative District 6 Leo Berman says this photo on the 2010 directory is a well-earned tribute to the university’s community efforts.
“Guided by an outstanding and supportive staff and faculty, its graduates will think critically, act with honesty and integrity, and demonstrate proficiency in leadership, communications skills and the use of technology,” he said. “UT-Tyler plays a vital role in developing the critical skills Tyler’s future leaders will need to continue making this great community successful.”
Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass agreed with Berman’s evaluation of the school’s importance to the Tyler area, and emphasized the overall value of a complete and well-taught education.
“Education is the key to individual success, and it’s critical for Tyler’s future,” she said. “UT-Tyler provides our young people the opportunity to improve their own lives, and collectively improve the lives of all Tyler residents and the region today, tomorrow and for many years to come.”
AT&T’s Advertising Solutions Market Manager-Northeast Texas Edwin Graves pointed out his corporation’s dedication to honoring business and government organs that unselfishly strive to improve the quality of life in East Texas.
“We are proud to feature the University of Texas at Tyler and the Cowan Center on the cover of our new AT&T Real Yellow Pages directory for the Tyler area,” he said. “We continually work to make our directory covers special on the outside, and tailor the community information inside our directories to best meet the needs of local residents and businesses.”
Executive Director of the Tyler Economic Development Council Tom Mullins also emphasized the value of the partnership between education and technology.
“Education and technology are the building blocks we have to depend on to transition into the new knowledge technology-based economy,” he said. “We have to have both. It is the future of Tyler and East Texas.”
District 7 State Representative Elect David Simpson agreed that being state-of-the-art is a blessing to this region.
“Technology’s impact is very evident in all walks of life,” he said. “This is a tremendous opportunity to see AT&T partnering with the University of Texas at Tyler. Most of the jobs today are dependent on technology, and we need a knowledgeable workforce.”
AT&T Director for External Affairs in East Texas Candice Gast spoke of how happy her corporation is to collaborate with the university.
“AT&T has a long, proud relationship with UT-Tyler,” she said. “The university is such an important part of this community, and supporting it is essential to the growth and development of those associated with it and the community in general. We not only provide service in Tyler, we also have families who live, work, play and go to the school in the community, so we’re keenly interested in doing what we can to improve and develop the area.”
