After
a University wide search, Brandie Yale was selected for this important position. Brandie has a PhD in Anthropology from Texas A&M. She has worked at A&M for several years prior to joining as Graduate Academic Advisor in the Electrical Engineering Department
managing large number of graduate student applications and advising. I am sure under Brandie’s leadership, we will grow our graduate population in the coming years. Brandie will begin her new assignment beginning November 1, 2016.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Please join me in congratulating Brandie in her new role as Director of Graduate Recruitment and Retention.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>
