Affairs)
Colleagues:
The University of Texas System is gathering information on existing initiatives,
partnerships and collaborations of UT institutions with the public PK-12 sector, including
with local and regional ISDs, organizations, associations, and non-profits.
This information-gathering will contribute to the Texas Prospect Initiative, one of
Chancellor McRaven's Quantum
Leaps<http://www.utsystem.edu/sites/utsfiles/documents/chancellor/lead...
in his new strategic vision, for the role of the UT System in leading change in a complex
world. The goal of the Texas Prospect Initiative is to use the size and resources of UT
campuses to actively engage with leaders in pre-K-through-12 education, thereby changing
the relationship between higher education and public education in meaningful and
unprecedented ways.
Work on the Texas Prospect Initiative is being led by the Office of Academic Affairs. As
we develop the plan for its implementation, we want to recognize the strong work already
taking place at UT institutions. For this initiative to be successful, the participation
of the campuses and local school districts will be instrumental.
Please respond using the web-based tool by clicking the graphic

and units on your campus that work and collaborate internally and externally with K-12
partners.
