OLLU Assistant Professor of Marketing and District 4 City Councilwoman Adriana Garcia, PhD, has been chosen for the Texas Lyceum Class of 2022. The selection means Dr. Garcia will play a role in shaping state and national policy discussions on race relations and other important issues.

The Lyceum is a nonprofit that selects leaders of all political persuasions to provide insight into the challenges facing Texas. The group will meet four times in 2022 to discuss such topics as the commerce, culture and confluence of “The New Border,” and “The Sustainability of Texas Communities West of I-35.” 

She recently told the San Antonio Express-News, “One of the things that I want to also bring to the Lyceum is an honest conversation about diversity and inclusion. We absolutely have to be talking about that at the state level and as leaders.”
