Meet our New COE Undergraduate Recruiter: Mr. Tyler Shockey

There is a new addition to our College of Education Team, Mr. Tyler Shockey! We want to welcome Mr. Shockey as he joins to serve as our Undergraduate Admissions Recruiter exclusively for our College of Education.   Tyler will also provide assistance for our Time Out for Tech and tour efforts.  Please join us in welcoming, Tyler Shockey to our COE! Below is a brief biography provided by Tyler and a description about why he chose to return to Louisiana Tech. Included are images of Tyler's wife and furbaby, too!

I am a Christ-follower, husband, father to a fur baby, two-time Tech graduate, and overall nerd (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings… you get the point)! I recently returned to the College of Education and Louisiana Tech after receiving my B.A. in Psychology (2012) and my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2014). Throughout the majority of my college career I worked at the Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home here in Ruston and also served as a PLPC at the Center for Children and Families in Monroe, LA.
Upon graduating, my wife and I left for the hustle and bustle of New Orleans in order to pursue my Ph.D. in Counselor Education at UNO. However, the big city life proved to be overwhelming for a couple from Bastrop, LA. After a lot of prayer… and I mean A LOT… we decided to settle back down in northeast Louisiana. We were ecstatic when I was offered the position of Admissions Specialist for the College of Education. We both have a deep love for LA Tech and are excited to be back in our old stomping grounds. I’m also very grateful to be working alongside the great professors that influenced me during my studies.
I look forward to meeting the various faculty and students within the College of Education. My office will be located in the Dean’s Suite, so please feel free to stop by if you ever have any questions… or if you just need to escape from your desk and talk for a moment.

Love God… Love Others,

Tyler Shockey
