2022 Fall Meeting at Bauer house, Austin
The Centurions gathered in September 2022 for the Fall Meeting and Luncheon at Bauer House, the Chancellor’s residence in Austin. Centurions heard from and engaged with the Chancellor, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Archie Holmes and Chief of Staff for Academic Affairs Lydia Riley.
Chancellor Milliken welcomed new members and provided Centurions with the latest information on the UT System and UT institutions, including:
- Addressing workforce needs through micro-credentials; and meeting urgent workforce challenges in cybersecurity, including a commitment to doubling the number of women in cyber-related fields by 2030
- Creating greater diversity within faculty and staff at UT institutions
- Expanding the research mission, such as the landmark educational and research agreement with the Army Futures Command that will spur new medical inventions and techniques that will save lives and eventually also serve civilian medical needs
- A healthy financial review and forecast
- A review of the Permanent University Fund (PUF)
- An encouraging philanthropy report
Following the meeting, Centurions had an opportunity to mingle and mix with members of the Chancellor's Council Executive Committee.
