May 7, 2015 Meeting

RFurgason“Texas Higher Education over the Next 15 Years” will be the program topic for Thursday’s meeting. Make plans to hear our own Dr. Bob Furgason, Past President of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, speak. During Bob’s 14-year tenure as TAMU-CC President, the two-year University became a four-year University and size of the student body increased dramatically, as did the number of programs and degree offerings.

It will be interesting to hear his insights as to what higher education will look like in the future.

While our Thursday meeting may not find its way into the history books, it serves as a reminder of what truly merits being recorded in history. Days like D-Day are worthy of remembrance and, more importantly, learning from. We are immensely grateful to our speaker, Dwayne Lee, for his inspiring presentation, “All Gave Some... Some Gave All.” His overview of the American Cemetery in Normandy, France, was not only informative but deeply moving. It was a presentation of great significance, reminding us of the sacrifices that shaped our world. A special thank you to our District Governor Zehra Surani for recognizing our club members who have generously shared their time and talents with Rotary. We also joyfully celebrate those cherished individuals who have been part of the Rotary family for over a decade, making a lasting impact with their enduring commitment. ... See MoreSee Less
