Absolutely! Thank you so much, for urging this advocacy, John, and thank you ,also, Michael for bringing David and D’Anne’s powerful work to our attention. This is a cause that we can all get behind, and I really hope everyone makes the effort to do as John suggests. Uniting behind this cause can make a huge difference, locally, as well as at the state and national levels.

Let's all help by calling or writing our Austin legislators to support this bill.

Dear Colleagues,

Wanted to draw your attention to some new and important state legislation being developed, aided by the rolled up sleeves of David and D’Anne Thompson. You know Dr. Thompson as committed teacher, caring colleague, funded researcher, full professor, and involved Assistant Dean—he does a lot. This most recent effort, described in the Express News today, may fall at the top of his professional and personal life accomplishments. Let’s wish him luck and share our appreciation for his impact inside and beyond UTSA.
