Hi PSVS-T!

I have to apologize for how neglectful I have been of this page. As April and others mentioned. Falls… Anyways, yes, the survey that was sent out over the Summer didn’t have any responses of willing/able institutions (other than ones that have already hosted) to host this Fall, which is completely understandable considering our work and the fact that Falls are so full already (I apologize if I missed anyone who actually did express interest to hosting from that). I was actually wondering if we might start with even something as casual as a monthly Zoom call. We could dedicate each session to a different topic of choice. Anyways, I am also a big fan of meeting in the Spring as a consortium, if anyone is interested/able to host. It sounds like Trisha Ruiz and the University of St. Thomas-Houston may be interested. Would love to continue that conversation!

Happy to setup a Zoom call for anyone willing/able for maybe a couple weeks from now. Sounds like our first topic could be just setting some goals and agenda and structure for the group.

Best,
Kevin

Good afternoon everyone,

I am excited to see where these conversations go and how we can help all veterans succeed in their educational quest.

I also want to welcome everyone to check out the Council of Colleges and Military Educators (CCME).  I am on the executive board for this council and am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Have a great day!

Hi Valerie,
Currently the group is not active.  Kevin Davis sent out a query earlier in the year to garner interest about reconnecting this fall, but I don’t believe anyone responded.
That being said, I feel it is an important group because there is no entity in Texas that focuses on private schools that support military affiliated students using the yellow ribbon program.
Possibly we can move forward and try for spring 2023, even if it is a virtual reconnect.

Good Morning Texas Veterans Private University Consortium!

We are very excited to be hosting you all in a couple days! Here are some more details as you plan your trip to Waco on Friday:

When: Please plan to arrive by 9:45AM this Friday (March 29th). We have a busy day planned and will be starting promptly at 10AM.

Where: I have a map below. The dark blue line showing how to get here from the North (Dallas), and the light blue line showing how to get here from the South (Austin).

The building the meeting will be held in is the “Student Union Building”. You can search for this building in the map to highlight it (also highlighted below).

The room we will be in is the large room directly in front of you if you come in through the North entrance (large main entrance up outside stairs leading to double doors). If you walk in one of the side entrances into the building, you will need to go up 1 flight of stairs. The room is called the “Barfield Drawing Room”.

Parking: We were only able to secure 10 parking spots to be coned off in the south visitor parking lot (highlighted below). If there are no more spots available there, you should be able to find visitor parking either in the un-coned area of the same lot or in the parking garage (highlighted below to the north). Both parking lots are a short walk to the Student Union Building. Handicapped parking is also available next to the Student Union Building on “M.P. Daniel Esplanade Rd”. Let me know if you need any additional mobility accomodations.

Agenda: The agenda for the day is attached to this email. It will be a jam packed day, but we are hopeful for a very productive one as well!

Things to consider before arriving:

  1.  At the End of the event Bill Dwiggins, Rand Binford and I will be looking to hand off the baton to the next university to host and keep the momentum going. Please consider volunteering for this opportunity!

  1.  Look over the topics being covered. Many topics will be round table discussions broken in smaller groups. Please think about what great things your school is doing or has thought about implementing (or maybe challenges you have experienced) so we can all benefit from your knowledge/experience!

This is my personal cell number – 719 332 3446. If you have any issues or questions as you make your way here, please give me a ring!

See you soon!

Best,
Kevin
