Expanding opportunities for Hispanic students enriches Texas | Opinion

The UT System is joining other universities to better serve a growing percentage of the state population.

Recently, the U.S. Census Bureau released updated national and state population and demographic estimates. Not surprisingly, the growth of Hispanic populations in Texas and the U.S. confirms what we already knew. Today, Texas is the proud home to 12 million Hispanics, a population that has increased roughly 24% since 2010 and is predicted to increase an additional 71% by 2050.

Texas institutions of higher education have worked diligently toward the advancement of Hispanic populations for decades — recruiting, enrolling and graduating Latino students, while embracing the influence of Hispanic culture, expanding avenues of success for Hispanic scholars and students, and promoting the art, culture and ideas of the Americas.

UTEP President Heather Wilson, a former secretary of the U.S. Air Force, will serve as the inaugural chair of the Alliance of Hispanic Serving Research Universities.
