“We at Welch are so thankful for what William Slater has brought to us as Dean of Adult and Online Studies at Welch College,” Pinson said. “He does such an excellent job in his role here, and we’re so thankful to have him representing our interests as vice-chairman of the education committee in the Tennessee House. He’s so deserving of this award.”

The award honoring Slater’s commitment to higher education will be presented at the TICUA Annual Meeting on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee.
