Andy Weaver has been named provost of Texas State Technical College’s West Texas campuses.
Weaver served as interim provost for the past year, as well as director of division support for
TSTC’s Allied Health program. He also has served in various other roles since he began his
career at TSTC in 2001.

“For 20 years, Andy has served the college community by training an army of paramedics and
EMTs,” said TSTC chancellor & CEO Mike Reeser. “This proven spirit of dedication to the
student will serve him well in his new role. TSTC is lucky to have this kind of experienced leader
serving the West Texas region.”

Jeff Kilgore, TSTC vice chancellor and chief academic officer, also noted Weaver’s dedication to
the college.

“We are grateful for Andy’s service and commitment to our students’ success and the vision of
TSTC,” Kilgore said.

Weaver said accepting his new role is both exciting and bittersweet.

“This new role will require me to move on from the things that I have enjoyed doing for several
years,” he said. “We worked hard for so many years to strengthen our Allied Health programs. I
know they will be in good hands.”

Kilgore said Hector Yanez, senior vice president of Student Learning, will support the Allied
Health division.

“I know Hector will continue to lead the program in the right direction,” Weaver said. “The future
of the program is in good hands with all of the Allied Health staff.”

Weaver said his excitement stems from his ability to focus on leading the four West Texas
campuses in Abilene, Breckenridge, Brownwood and Sweetwater.

“We have great team members at all of our campuses, and I am excited to continue to work with
them on a daily basis,” he said. “I am focused on ensuring that we offer the best education for
our students and giving our faculty and staff the support they need to meet our mission of
placing more Texans in high-quality jobs.”

Weaver began his TSTC career as an Emergency Medical Services instructor at the
Sweetwater campus. He has served since as the program’s department chair and division
director.

Looking back at his career, Weaver did not dream of becoming the provost.

“I was never one to seek out a title. I wanted to be good at the job I was blessed to have at the
time,” he said. “I am thankful for the relationships that I have built and to be serving with great
team members who care about TSTC.”
