While the pandemic and related economic fallout have created unique challenges for our colleges and universities, these institutions offer a bridge to a better future for individual Texans and for our state’s economic well-being.
This new phase for higher education will require far-reaching conversations about how to best deploy resources, new technology, and faculty and staff to deliver the knowledge and skills Texas students will need to succeed in a transformed job market.
Working adults of every age may need retraining or additional skills to adjust to workforce demands, and the state’s colleges and universities can help meet those needs.
More than ever, it’s vital that students find efficient pathways to education and careers that will support Texas’ economic recovery and their own.
We must support Texas colleges and universities in finding the right answers – they are critical to our state’s future.
