Most people have heard the old saying about how you can't understand what others go through until you've walked a mile in their shoes and I've always felt that was a pretty accurate sentiment.

Much to my chagrin, I wasn't even able to crawl a few feet in the shoes of Marshall firefighters this week, much less make it anywhere close to a mile in them.

East Texas Baptist University's Debate Team participated at the 2017 Louisiana State University Mardi Gras Swing Debate Tournament in Baton Rouge, Louisiana February 3-4. Two ETBU team members won championships at the competition.

The Marshall Fire Department recently visited East Texas Baptist University's new University Park Row House development for a fire safety operational evaluation.

MFD firemen from Fire Stations Nos. 1 and 2, under the leadership of Battalion Chief David Dean toured the new student residential development under construction.

Over 160 ETBU students, faculty, and staff participated in service projects throughout Harrison County as part of the National Day of Service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and his service to others. Members of the ETBU community served at organizations in the area including Mission Marshall, The Boys & Girls Club of Hallsville, Dayspring Therapeutic Equestrian Center, and My Friend's House.
