From the Nominator
Anna Treviño has a powerful story well known within Texas Tech's College of Human Sciences. As a former addict and incarcerated individual, she overcame many odds to gain her position as a faculty member with the Center for Collegiate Recovery Communities. She credits her time in this program with not only helping her become clean but encouraging her to chase a better life. We wanted to share her story of determination with others who may be facing trials in their pursuit of an improved lifestyle.
