Our Lady of the Lake University is proud to announce its participation in the very first cohort of the Network Improvement Community (NIC). On April 27–28, five OLLU representatives traveled to Austin to join peer institutions in a collaborative effort to shape the future of Texas higher education.
Working alongside leaders from UTSA, St. Edward’s, St. Mary’s, TAMIU, TAMUCC, and TAMUK, the OLLU team engaged in data-driven strategy sessions aimed at fostering more inclusive and effective learning environments. This initiative is supported by the Hector and Gloria López Foundation in partnership with the Texas Higher Education Foundation.
Our OLLU Representatives:
Dr. Beatriz Barkholtz, López Scholars Director
Gianno Gomez, Data Visualization and Research Analyst
Newman Wong, Director of Institutional Research & Analytics
Sabrina Zertuche, Retention Specialist
Dr. Stacy Ybarra Evans, Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence
By joining this inaugural cohort, OLLU reinforces our mission to provide an education built on faith and wisdom, ensuring our graduates are prepared to lead and transform their communities.
