UTA alumna named Texas Teacher of the Year
Tara Bordeaux has an inspiring story – a high school dropout who became Texas Teacher of the Year. Bordeaux’s journey included a stop at The University of Texas at Arlington, where she earned her bachelor’s degree and learned from professors she describes as some of the most influential people in her life. “I’ve asked people who went to other universities about their relationships with their professors and it’s not the same. To this day, I can lean on any one of mine and they’ll help. They continue to be mentors. I can’t say enough about UTA. It remains my home away from home,”
