CIE in 2011: Top Stories
12/21/2011
Join us as we take a look back at some of our top stories from 2011.What we enjoy about these stories is that they offer a snapshot of the past year for CIE: how we fit into the story of The University of Texas at Austin and how our programs collectively impact our students at every stage in their lives, from grade school to college, from professional career to retirement.
Our biggest internal story this year was a change in leadership in November that saw Linda Glessner named CIE’s Executive Director: “CIE embraces new vision as Linda Glessner named Executive Director.”
We look forward with great enthusiasm and excitement to 2012, as we make steps to expand our current programs to reach even more people in Texas and around the world.
