The University of Texas School of Public Health San Antonio Regional Campus had two good reasons to celebrate, and celebrate they did with an open house Oct. 6. This year marks their 25th in San Antonio, and the school is in new and larger quarters, just a mile from the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, the collaborative partner of the UT Health Science Center at Houston in training public health professionals.
At the open house are, from left, School of Public Health San Antonio Regional Campus master’s degree graduate Eduardo Sanchez, M.D., Texas Commissioner of Health; Guy Parcel, Ph.D., executive dean of the School of Public Health; James T. Willerson, M.D., president of the UT Health Science Center at Houston; and Jimmy Perkins, Ph.D., assistant dean for the regional campus. Willerson welcomed guests including UT System Regent Cyndi Taylor Krier and UTHSC-San Antonio president Francisco Cigarroa, M.D.
The new facility, with technologically wired classroom space and a large research laboratory, affords expanded learning opportunities for the school, which is the oldest of the four regional campuses of the School of Public Health – the others are located in Brownsville, Dallas and El Paso.
