Congratulations, Dr. Langman. I'm sad you are leaving UTSA but happy for your
accomplishment. Wishing you much success on your new endeavors, knowing you will make
great contributions in moving the university forward. I have great memories of your work
back at Gus Garcia when you were doing a research study and I was the principal there. I
also hold dear to my heart your encouragement for seeking my doctorate at UTSA rather than
at A&M College Station when you heard I was going to apply. You also provided a letter
of recommendation on my behalf which I am forever grateful.
Best wishes and let us know how things are going for you. Take care of yourself.

Subject: [Coehd] A message from Dean Torres
On behalf of Dean Torres:
Good afternoon COEHD Faculty and Staff,
It’s with mixed feelings that I notify you that Dr. Langman, Associate Dean of Graduate
Studies has accepted a position with Kennesaw University as their new Dean of the Graduate
College. Dr. Langman has been integral to COEHD and our graduate studies program. She
joined UTSA in 1998 as a faculty member in the Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies
and has served as associate dean of graduate studies in COEHD since 2016. Dr. Langman also
served as Interim Dean for COEHD from January 1 – August 1, 2021.
Dr. Langman devoted herself to this institution for 22 years and leaves a lasting impact
within and outside the college. To put this in greater perspective, her time at UTSA
accounts for almost half of UTSA’s existence – fascinating. All would agree Dr. Langman
played a pivotal role in building the reputation and stature of this university. Over her
career, she’s proven to be a superb researcher, a passionate advocate for students, and a
very capable leader.
While her departure is a sizable loss for the COEHD community and UTSA, I know she will
thrive in her new position as Dean of the Graduate College at Kennesaw State. We wish her
the very best as she begins a new chapter.
