Photographer Russell Graves was a guest speaker for the college on Monday, April 3rd and covered the topic, "Rural Routes: How Creativity and a Dream can lead you from a small town to the rest of the world."
Graves was raised in rural Texas and began his photography career as early on as junior high. He earned a degree in Agriculture Education from East Texas State University (now Texas A&M - Commerce) and after graduation taught for 16 years, finishing his teaching career in 2009. In 2018, Russell shifted focus to leading photography workshops as a way to combine his love for the outdoors and photography with his teaching ability. His achievements are nothing short of impressive with thousands of images in magazines and advertisements (nearly 600 of those being magazine covers), authored six books, and has photographed some very prominent people in our country.

Graduate student, Zoey Tucker Macon, recently had an article published in Progressive Dairy Canada discussing her past and present research at Tarleton and Southwest Regional Dairy Center. Macon's research centered around lameness in dairy cattle.
"Lameness continues to be the cause of substantial loss on dairies. Researchers are honing in on environmental and genetic factors that contribute to lameness in order to improve animal health and well-being."
