In these challenging times, all of us are determined to keep what is most important first in every action and every decision: the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff – nothing will have a higher priority.
In order to make this the greatest decade in UT history, we must continually seek ways to honor our land-grant mission. We don’t want to measure ourselves by who we exclude; we want to measure ourselves by who we include.
It is essential that U.S. higher education institutions connect and engage in the world to bring the good work of our faculty to the public, to build collaborations that strengthen the impact of our knowledge and to harness opportunities for our students and graduates to grow and learn.
