After more than two decades at Texas Tech's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Lybby Brown is retiring. The college's long-time coordinator for scholarships was honored at a special reception on Wednesday (Apr. 23) at the Mesa Room of the Student Union Building. Brown first joined CASNR in 1992, working as a secretary. In 1999, she stepped into her scholarship duties moving from a paper-based process to the current online process. Awards for Brown include CASNR Ag Council Outstanding Staff Award Award (2007); Quality Service Award (2000); and Top Techsan Award (2000). One of the key elements that she'll miss is the daily interaction with the college's scholarship students. "I think they have had more impact of my life than I have had on theirs," she said.
