UTEP is very unique. From my experience. I have been to one other University. When you
look at UTEP and the diversity. In fact if you look at the data, the statistics. It is
very unique. To have that opportunity as a young person
back when- gives you that exposure. There may be some other university that I am not
aware of that is somewhat similar. But UTEP is great. The diversity you have here is just
very unique. Over the years I have always followed the
school even though I have been a distance away. I always did love the school.
I always have been engaged. As a young kid, I tell people, I remember in 1966 when Texas
Western won the championship. I remember exactly where I was. I was in third
grade. I remember everybody driving around honking their horns.
Third grade. I have always followed UTEP. I did have that linkage because I lived here.
I have always been a fan of UTEP. I went to school here. And I always followed the school.
It’s a great school and I love it. I think what I learned at UTEP besides the
technical skills that we develop, is how do you deal with people? When you have people
with diverse backgrounds. UTEP is very progressive. Over the years as I have kept in touch with
UTEP, and if you just look at the campus sometimes when you just look at the infrastructure within
a campus that will tell you if the campus is progressive and UTEP has been under the
leadership of President Natalicio. Your investment will go a long ways to advance
education and advance all of the goals of the university and I encourage everyone to
do so.
