It was an honor to be at the UT Martin Parsons Center this morning as the university is celebrating 125 years of higher education. We were also very proud to watch our intern, Alana Coulston, receive her University stole prior to graduation. It was a great day to celebrate UT Martin in Decatur County!

We love seeing these young ladies having fun, and this was one of the coolest parts of the night. Listen to them sing "This Girl Is On Fire" while they are on the dance floor. They are having a ball and making memories!
