Excited to lead this effort with @SFASU, alongside the T.L.L. Temple Foundation and Angelina College. The launch made one thing clear: East Texas is ready to work on water together. That’s the job of the East Texas Water Institute. #AxeEm
Water shapes East Texas, and its future will be built through collaboration, research and action.
The East Texas Water Institute brings together people, expertise and resources to help address the opportunities and challenges facing our region for generations to come.
Dr. Drew Gholson will lead that work as the inaugural T.L.L. Temple Executive Director of the East Texas Water Institute. Gholson’s career has focused on water conservation, applied research and practical solutions for agriculture and communities. His work includes over 50 peer-reviewed publications, more than 150 Extension resources and $50 million in externally funded research.
Before coming to SFA, Gholson served at Mississippi State University's National Center for Alluvial Aquifer Research. He holds a doctorate in soil science and a master’s degree in water management and hydrological sciences from Texas A&M University.
