They Really, Really Like Us

In what was huge news here on campus, Newsweek shined a little light on my little west Texas university, and they liked what they saw.

Here is the excerpt that has folks here giddy:

[Two recent studies] show that the best-known campuses aren't always the best place to get an education. In the Texas system, for example, Carey found that the UT campus with the most freshman-to-senior-year academic growth was Permian Basin, which accepts 95 percent of applicants. In Florida, the top earners graduated from Florida International University—not the flagship Gainesville campus.

We get 'em in and we coach 'em up. There are worse things that can be said for a bunch of university professors, even if you have never heard of us.
