A day of celebration for Texas A&M-San Antonio By Kiko Trinidad-Colon In a special inauguration ceremony at the San Antonio College McAllister Auditorium Tuesday morning, Dr. Maria Hernandez Ferrier was officially appointed the first president of Texas A&M-San Antonio by the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. Dr. Ferrier invited dozens of local women who, like her, earned a doctorate degree. The doctoral graduates marched solemnly down the aisle, and each took a seat onstage alongside Ferrier and the Board of Regents. She explained she invited the accomplished women to make a point. “I thought it was important for me to demonstrate the power of education,” said Ferrier. “It is the key that will open the doors of opportunity for our children.” It has been a long road for Ferrier, but well worth the hardship. “It hasn’t been easy, but it has been extremely rewarding,” she said. Ferrier served as interim president of A&M-San Antonio since June 2009, and became the sole finalist for the position Jan. 21, after an extensive nationwide search. She was confirmed after a mandated waiting period, during which Ferrier met with local community, education and civic leaders. The new president began working with the university as executive director when the institution was operating as a system center of A&M-Kingsville. Under her leadership, the system center accomplished key objectives, including the approval of the master plan for the permanent campus, the passing of funding legislation and the growth of academic programs and enrollment. Last May, Senate Bill 629 established A&M San Antonio as a stand-alone institution. “The regents and I realized we already had the right person in place,” stated Morris E. Foster, chair of the Board of Regents. “Our unanimous decision shows the confidence we all have in her to continue to guide this new university through these trying economic times. Dr. Ferrier’s dedication and experience have been and will continue to be the right combination to lead this university.” See Dr. Ferrier page 4 Conoces a alguien que ha sido forzado o obligado a trabajar en la prostitución, Como sirviente doméstico, o otro tipo de trabajo? ► ¿Fueron reclutados para un propósito pero han sido forzados a trabajar en otro tipo de trabajo? ►¿Se les han confiscado sus pasaportes o identificación? ►¿Fueron detenidos contra su voluntad? ►¿Se les niega socializar y tener amigos? ►¿Han sido amenazados con la detención o la deportación?
