MNM: New ETBU President Returns to His Roots

MARSHALL NEWS MESSENGER (8/23/15) - East Texas Baptist University's new President Blair Blackburn has returned home with the recent move back to East Texas from his previous post at Dallas Baptist University.

The University of Texas at Tyler and Tyler Junior College alumnus said he is a true East Texan at heart with a love for hunting, God and family - not in that order.

Blackburn spent the past 20 years at the Dallas Christian university before he said a calling from God brought him back to the Pine Curtain.
