UTPB student wins national award from American Association of Professional Landmen
ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – University of Texas Permian Basin Energy Land Management Senior, Parker Goin, has been awarded the American Association of Professional Landmen Outstanding Graduate Award.
According to officials at UTPB, Goin was selected as a finalist from a competitive pool of students nominated by accredited universities nationwide, including Texas Tech University, West Virginia University, the University of Texas at Austin, and many others.
Goin was selected for the award in February at the Nape Summit in Houston, a marketplace for the energy industry. He was nominated by UTPB Energy Land Management Coordinator Katharine Harrell.
The award is a meaningful tradition among AAPL's accredited undergraduate programs and highlights the impact graduates will have on the industry. To be selected, Goin submitted an essay and was interviewed by board members.
'Post UTPB, I tell people, God willing, I'll be in the Permian Basin for the next 60 years. I'll be here for as long as I can, managing surface and minerals, and just giving back to the community and watching it grow. There's a lot of great things happening out here, and that's a nice thing about being an energy land management student, is we are involved in the community and giving back,' said Goin.
