Dialogue Summary

 Closing the Gaps: The Texas Higher Education Plan presents a blueprint for the future of Texas’ human capital. It is a plan that should evolve, as does the capacity of institutions of higher education to formatively respond to the demands of the state’s diverse populations, the world economy and the availability of resources to meet unforeseen challenges and opportunities.

 

The perspectives and recommendations that have been offered in this brief response to Closing the Gaps should be considered a reflection of the region’s leadership commitment to the continuing development of a shared vision for the quality of life of our fellow citizens.

The Falfurrias Dialogue is the first of what we anticipate will be an ongoing series of interactions between and among the leadership of South Texas South regional colleges and universities. This event was, by all accounts, the first time that these colleagues and peers had met to discuss and share their perspectives and recommendations for how they will collectively affect the future of this region but also of the state. South Texas is the historical anchor for this great state and its many assets are forever linked to the shared future that all of us are vested in as Texans, first and foremost.
