UTRGV Requests Approval for a PROVISIONAL Mission Statement
October 29, 2015
Dear Faculty and Staff,
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) is requesting approval by The University of Texas Board of Regents of a provisional mission statement at the November Board of Regents meeting. The proposed statement is based on the U. T. System Board of Regents Guiding Principles.
The provisional mission statement will serve as the foundation for the university’s first strategic planning process, which will commence at the end of this semester and will involve UTRGV students, faculty, staff and administration. Further information on that process will be sent soon.
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley provides a high quality, innovative, and affordable education to the students of South Texas, Texas, the United States and the world. The University will transform Texas and the nation through student success, research, healthcare, and commercialization.
