It was a pleasure chatting with student leaders at the @utepsga President's Dinner. The future is in great hands!

Wonderful to see so many leaders in science and tech at Space Tech El Paso! Our region's talent, research and industry have a crucial role to play in the growing space economy.

Happy Halloween, Miners! 🎃

[UTEP @UTEP]

Campus is looking boo-tiful this week! 👻🎃 Miners dressed as Nacho Libre, Springtrap and everything in between brought the Halloween spirit at the annual Halloween costume contest -- and Thursday's dreary weather didn't stop the Centennial Museum from displaying an array of creepy curiosities at their Halloween event.

Stay safe this Halloweekend, Miners! 🧡

Thank you to the Woody and Gayle Hunt Family Foundation for their $5 million dollar-for-dollar matching grant to support the establishment of a law school at UTEP.

What a profound honor to have the audience of His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, Druk Gyalpo of the Kingdom of Bhutan, to discuss the ties that bind our university and his nation.

[UTEPPresident @UTEPPresident]

The Kingdom of Bhutan and UTEP have enjoyed a longstanding partnership, so it is an honor to travel to the Himalayas to visit our friends. We are humbled by their hospitality.
