Item Summary of a Conference on Texas Water Problems and Possible Solutions(Southwest Texas State Teachers College, 1954-12) Southwest Texas State Teachers CollegeOn July 20, 1954, more than five hundred farmers, ranchers, bankers, industrialists, members of the armed forces, teachers, and students gathered on the campus of Southwest Texas State Teachers College to hear leading authorities from private, state, and federal agencies discuss the increasingly acute Texas water problem ans some of the possible solutions. This conference was sponsored by Southwest Texas State Teachers College to meet two of its educational responsibilities: first, to ensure that teachers and prospective teachers studying at this public institution be prepared to present the problem of conservation to the students in the Texas schools; second, to educate the lay public to the nature of the conservation problem. This bulletin has been published in the belief that the addresses delivered to the conference are of such significance to the people of Texas that they should be given the widest dissemination both to teachers and the general public.Item Emphasis Upon Excellence(Southwest Texas State College Press, 1964-05) Brown, William Frank; Derrick, Leland E.; Flowers, J.

Part of the requirements of the Review was to give a history of the Personnel Office. A history was compiled and included as part of the Peer Review. For posterity purposes I felt it would be fun and informative to update the history from where it left off at FY’01 in the Peer Review to the current FY’21. So this document is essentially in two parts: (1) The FY’01 Peer Review as written at the time and (2) events as they unfolded from FY’02-FY’21.Item Insights on Minority Business Growth: A Report on the Growth-Related Challenges Experienced by Minority-Owned Businesses in Texas(2022-12) Daspit, Joshua J.; Wan, Maggie; Konopaske, Robert; Anderson, Sidney; Lopez, Omar S.Data show that minority businesses do not grow at the same rate as non-minority businesses. This report outlines initial insights gained regarding why this difference exists. Based on qualitative and quantitative data collected from minority and non-minority business owners in Texas, four primary findings emerge that help to highlight the challenges minority-owned businesses encounter when seeking to grow.
