Dr. Judy Ashcroft, Dean
This is a wonderful time to be guiding Continuing and Innovative Education into its second 100 years of service to the people of Texas. We are building on the past successes and creating new plans for realizing the awesome potential that resides in UT-Austin.
Our vision can be summed with this sentence: we are leaders in changing the world through integrating innovation, education, and service. We are teaching, research, and service all in one place.
We are taking quality educational opportunities to people everywhere, reaching them in their contemporary, busy, wired and media-savvy lifestyle, as well as in places very far from the original Forty Acres.
We are moving toward this vision and striving to make UT for you, too.
