And this year the Board of Regents unanimously approved the expansion of The Center for Students in Recovery, a supportive community for students in recovery and in HOPE of recovery, to the other 8 UT System schools! Once again the UT System leads the nation!!!! And students working hard to triumph over addiction/alcoholism will have a safe and sober place to turn to, from now on :-) HOOK 'em!
2012 has been a productive and fruitful year, it's great to look back on that year with all the memories that comes with it. May this year be another outstanding year.
