Hello again, Vaqueros! Here we are approaching the midpoint of the 2024 Spring Semester. From my many years in higher education, we know that faculty are just as eager as students to see spring break arrive. This past month has been a busy one, like most months, chock-full of meetings and events that keep me in awe of the hard work that every faculty, staff, and student produces to propel UTRGV forward.
It is with sincere respect and admiration that I send this message to inform our community that Dr. Walter Diaz has announced his intention to step down as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, to return to the faculty, effective the end of the Spring 2024 semester.
Welcome back, Vaqueros! We concluded 2023 by celebrating 2,800 graduates over two days of inspiring and invigorating commencements. On a hot weekend in December, our graduates savored these special moments with their loving families, memorializing them with photos across campus in Brownsville and Edinburg. Those two days remind us that we are one university with one identity.
