UT Tyler’s new 200-bed student apartment complex will be named Patriot Village, as the result of a contest that drew 100 entries from the student body. The winners of the naming contest were Laura L. Hickerson, who was the first to submit the name Patriot Village, and Michael D. Brewer, who was the first to submit the second of the top two choices -- Patriot Crossing. “I was very pleased with the number of entries, as it shows a great deal of support for this project from the student body,’’ said David Hill, director of residence life. Four judges picked their top 10 choices from the list of entries. Those choices were then forwarded for approval from UT Tyler President Rodney Mabry, Hill said. The judges were Dr. Dale Lunsford, Dr. Paul Streufert, Kimberly Hill and Porshe Chiles. “This selection of judges gave a wide range of viewpoints since there was an administrator, a faculty member and two students,’’ Hill added. The apartment complex, which will be owned and operated by the university, is planned for completion by the fall.
