COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS INNNOVATION LUNCHEON
The College of Liberal Arts hosted Innovation Day on Septem-
ber 24, 2018. Activities and guests were planned throughout
the day, including a luncheon hosting innovative Texas State
alumni. Honored alumni were Carina Boston Pinales, Chad
Williams, Lana King, Jennifer Erickson, and Latrice Hertzler.
After speaking about their work and the meaning of innova-
tion, the alumni had a chance to sit among the students to
encourage informal conversation and small group discussions.
Boston Pinales founded a local San Marcos company called
Splash Co-Working. She pointed out how it doesn't matter
what your degree is specifically, what you learn throughout
your college career can be applied to anything you do. This en-
couraged MPA student Morgan Moore, "after that luncheon I
felt that the knowledge she shared with me confirmed that
no matter what you decide to pursue a degree in, you will be
successful with the knowledge gained by attending college."J~a
25Chad Williams, Chair of the Central Library in Austin, TX,
shared how he gained various experiences he still uses in
the workplace today during his time at Texas State, not only
through his studies, but also by participating in student orga-
nizations. MPA student Immanuel Tan learned neverto under-
estimate himself, "Mr. Chad has inspired me to be the best I
can be and have the courage to discover new things which can
be beneficial in the future. I learned that hard work, commit-
ment, and perseverance are keys to success."
Students also got the chance to speak with a former MPA stu-
dent, Latrice Hertzler. Hertzler's work focuses on environmen-
tal compliance and providing municipalities with the analyti-
cal tools to reduce costs and strengthen local environmental
standards. Overall, MPA student Carlos Lamkin felt the "Inno-
vation Luncheon was an inspiring experience."I
