Pam Hudgins, UT Tyler enrollment services officer, will appear on the hit TV game
show, ‘The Price is Right,’ Rosemary Cooper, enrollment services director, announced.
She was selected to be a contestant during a live taping last week in Los Angeles.
“It was a lifetime opportunity for myself, as well as for my mom, sister and best
friend,” said Hudgins, who also is a UT Tyler alumna. “We all designed our own t-shirts
and went to the show without any expectations other than to have a great time and
perhaps, just maybe, get selected as a contestant. As it turns out, the experience
was more than I could have imagined.”
The episode featuring Hudgins will air at 10 a.m. CST Tuesday, Dec. 16 on CBS 19.
Hudgins has served UT Tyler since August. She holds a master of science in technology
with an emphasis in human resource development from the university.
UPDATE: A watch party will be held in front of the Enrollment Services Center located
on the second floor of the UT Tyler James H. Stewart Jr. Administration Building.
