UT Tyler Student Recognized as All-American ScholarMark Taylor, a graduate student at The University of Texas at Tyler, has been named a Collegiate All-American Scholar by the United States Achievement Academy’s recognition program for exceptional students.
The program recognizes fewer than 10 percent of all American college students and is based on the student’s academic performance, interest and aptitude, leadership qualities and recommendation from a professor or college official. All-American Scholars must earn at least a 3.3 grade point average.
Honorees are included in the Collegiate All-American Scholar Yearbook and are eligible to apply for scholarships.
Taylor, a resident of Palestine, is a student in the master of science/nurse practitioner degree program. Dr. Linda Klotz, dean of the UT Tyler College of Nursing and Health Sciences, nominated Taylor for the All-American Scholar award.“Mark is an excellent student who manages to balance the demands of work, family and advanced practice education,” Dr. Klotz said. “When he completes his nurse practitioner degree, we anticipate that he will be a good addition to quality health care teams providing care for the region.”
Taylor is a member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society in Nursing, Iota Nu Chapter, and the Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society in Education, Rho Rho Chapter. He graduated cum laude from UT Tyler with a bachelor of science in nursing degree in 1998.
