Wendy Boyd-Brown was an Academic Counselor for TAMS starting in August 1998 until she retired in June 2020. During her 22 years of service, she was a tremendous advocate for students across the UNT campus and loved them as her own. Wendy was able “to get students in line” and simultaneously lend a shoulder on which to cry. She was viewed by many students as their surrogate mother. Even parents appreciated Wendy keeping their students on the track of success. In addition to advising students through their academic journey, she wrote a multitude of recommendations for students aspiring to their next institution, applying for a scholarship or seeking employment. Wendy also helped lead the Summer Mathematics Institute which brought students to UNT as early as 7th grade to focus on getting ahead in mathematics. In the final semester at TAMS, Wendy was instrumental in helping develop the TAMS Black Student Union, (BSU). TAMS BSU hosted their first celebration program in February 2020, “Still We Rise” where Wendy was the featured speaker highlighting the obstacles African Americans overcome to succeed
