"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV
Addi Surratt is the Director of Campus Experience at East Texas Baptist University. Her journey working in higher education began with a passion for sports and community, which led her to pursue a degree in Sports Business at the University of Oklahoma, where she graduated in 2023.
During Addi's time at OU, she served as a Recruiting Operations Assistant for the football team, which taught her the ins and outs of recruitment and the importance of building strong relationships with students. This experience deepened Addi's understanding of what makes a campus vibrant and engaging and made her sure of the fact that she wanted to pursue a career working on a college campus.
Addi also had the opportunity to intern in athletics at ETBU in 2022, where she fell in love with the University's commitment to student development, community, and Christ-centered education. She is excited to give back to the campus experience at ETBU, ensuring every potential student feels supported and engaged throughout their journey to find their home away from home in a college, hopefully in ETBU.
