On Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at the UTPA Student Union Theatre, state legislatures held an informal panel discussion of issues organized by the Texas Tribune that addressed hot topics in our community. State Representatives, Veronica Gonzalez, Juan ”Chuy” Hinojosa and Aaron Peña, came together on stage to discuss cuts in public education, redistricting and other results of the 82nd Legislative Session. An hour of panel discussion followed up by an Q & A from audience members that included students, faculty and community leaders. The UTPA Graduate School encourages community involvement and becoming familiar with the issues that impact the world. As the election year comes near, we anticipate a lot of these types of panel discussions to make appearances on campus. For those that were not able to attend the 8:00 a.m. event, click here
