In Texas, we have issues with high rate of diabetes, good drinking water, air quality, a rapidly aging population. We really feel like people should be aware of what higher education is doing to provide solutions to those challenges. |
It gives us the opportunity to convey the importance of higher education to society. |
The purpose of 'Transforming Texas' is to highlight the contributions public higher education institutions make to improve the lives of all Texans. While higher education may be known for its private economic benefit to an individual, its broader public benefit to society is often not conveyed. |
