Message from the President: 2019-20 Annual Report
December 14, 2020
Dear UTRGV Family,
The 2019-2020 academic year will go down as one of the most turbulent in higher education's history. Like many other institutions, UTRGV had no choice but to dramatically alter its operations - almost immediately - because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, thanks to the hard work and perseverance of our students, faculty, and staff, the 2019-2020 academic year will also go down as one the most successful in UTRGV's history. The university experienced record-breaking enrollment and retention figures, bolstered its reputation as one of the top value schools nationwide by earning top rankings, and continued to expand educational opportunities, access to health care, and impactful research benefiting the entire Rio Grande Valley.
We have a great deal be proud of during this period. We achieved much as an institution during the 2019-2020 academic year, and the incredible position that UTRGV now finds itself in will help lead us all toward a future with seemingly endless possibilities.
Sincerely,
Guy Bailey
