ENMU senior Tamia Smith (attending) isn’t intimidated when faced with challenges. That’s evident in her athletic, academic, and student activity achievements.

Tamia, from Arlington, Texas, throws hammer and shot put for the Eastern track and field team and set a school indoor record in the shot at the Lone Star Conference (LSC) Indoor Championships in Lubbock, Texas. She recorded a throw of 13.69 meters and now owns the top five distances in the event in ENMU history.

Tamia graduates in May with a degree in criminal justice and already plans to attend ENMU graduate school in the fall, to work on a degree in counseling. Her ultimate goal is to pursue a career with the FBI.

As if that weren’t enough, Tamia is also the president of ENMU’s Student Government Association.

“I got involved in student government as a freshman and worked my way up,” Tamia said. I was vice president last year, so I might as well go for the top.”

While athletics has been a big part of her collegiate career, student government has presented opportunities she might never have considered.
