Note: During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have the chance to learn a little more about our Louisiana Tech University Family: students, staff, alumni, faculty, and friends. We’ll call it Tech Top 5. Go to LATechSports.com for more Top 5s. #TogetherApart Dr. Gordon Holley Award-winning educator Dr. Gordon Holley, professor in Louisiana Tech’s Agricultural Sciences and Forestry Department, is a tree guy. Bigtime. When he joined the Tech staff in 2005, he helped redesign the forestry school’s summer camp in response to student’s expressed need to have a greater proportion of instruction in the field and created an annual, two-week spring trip to Honduras for Tech forestry students. The Tech Honduras program ended in 2012, but that same year Holley started leading his church’s annual mission trips there. “I guess it should come as no surprise,” he said, “that two of my favorite trees come from central America.”
