The 2,000 students currently enrolled in Texas Southmost College may not fully appreciate the blending of architecture from three different centuries on their campus, but the TSC trustees along with President Lily Tercero seemed pleased with the agreement signed @ 10:00 AM in the lobby of the Arnulfo Oliveira Student Services Center.
Tercero and TSC Board President Francisco Rendon worked their way through those waiting to witness the signing ceremony, warmly greeting each attendee.
"I'm happy TSC is back," stated Tercero in remarks before the signing. "This has been a near seamless transition. We are pleased to announce that we already have over 2,000 students enrolled in TSC."

UT Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa viewed the two institutions working together as "a global model for how this can work. . . . . . Some questioned two and a half years ago how this could work, but we have a wonderful history together. If our negotiations did get a little stressful at times, if we don't go through that. . . . we're possibly not going to celebrate as much as we're going to celebrate today. There are two ways this can work. We can each go our separate ways and forget about each other or work together, developing mutual respect."
The schools essentially used Ringgold Road as a boundary with TSC on the west and the UT satellite on the east, although certain buildings, labs and the library will be shared. TSC also received $26,000,000 compensation in the land/building swap.

DeleteLily Tercero is our new hero. She may not be a native of Brownsville, but she is far more gentile and effecti.e than our previous Queen Julieta. Julieta forgot where she came from....she lost contact with the local community to focus on her self-serving agenda. Juliet lost the education game here because she wanted education to be only about her...and she forgot about the rest of us and the kids who needed to be educated and trained....she forgot them. Juliet has failed this community and she has failed the UT System. Juliet wanted the focus to be on her...not on education. Juliet Garcia is a failure......she forgot where she came from and tried to exploit the community.....Juliet gets an "F" in my grade bookl
