of the Texas’ workforce and economy. 

We work in partnership with government agencies, policymakers, and institutions to provide objective, insightful data and analysis to inform higher education policy, funding and decision-making. With the goal of serving our diverse and growing population, these efforts support student access and success, and innovations that supply a talented, diverse workforce.  

We collaborate with government agencies and elected officeholders at the state, federal and local levels to bring objective context to higher education challenges that affect communities, regional economies, and postsecondary and workforce pathways.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”70″ bottom_padding=”70″ top_padding_tablet=”50″ bottom_padding_tablet=”50″ top_padding_phone=”40″ bottom_padding_phone=”40″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” color_overlay=”#ffffff” color_overlay_2=”#ffffff” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”1″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_color=”#007da1″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” shape_divider_height=”150″ bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”speech” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left-right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”88th Texas Legislature” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]
