L ISA WESTERBECK FOSSUM - MOVING ON "I am leaving Texas State to go fully self employed as a Realtor® with Keller Williams Heritage. My last day is Friday, April 2. Being one of the original six Research Coordinators at Texas State, I have really enjoyed seeing the university grow in providing research support and have valued the friendships I have gained across the university. I am hoping to stay involved with the college through the Friends of Fine Arts and Communication. I feel blessed that many of the same skills as a Research Coordinator are transferable to real estate, including interpersonal skills, project management, detailed checklists and ability to show the big picture vs. details (market analysis). My husband does architectural photography & videography for his business, so we are a good team! I am excited about this next chapter in my life." o lege of Fine Arts and Co unication | 11
