Texas Sen. Kel Seliger (R-District 31), who
chairs the Texas Senate Higher Education Committee, recently toured Blinn
College’s Brenham and Bryan campuses, reviewing programs such as Blinn's partnerships with Texas A&M and its early college high school.
“It is a great honor and opportunity for
Blinn to share the college's impressive achievements and future plans with the
Senate Higher Education chair,” Sen. Lois Kolkhorst (R-District 18) said. “He
is a good friend, which is why I'm so pleased that he's taken time to visit
Blinn in Bryan and Brenham and to start a conversation with Blinn's
administration about the future of higher education and community colleges.”
Seliger’s tour included attending the
groundbreaking ceremony for the Center for Infrastructure Renewal at Blinn’s
RELLIS Campus, a $73 million project. The state senator also visited Blinn’s Health
Science Center (HSC) in Bryan and the W.J. “Bill” Rankin Agricultural Complex
on the Brenham Campus.
“It was an honor for Blinn’s students and
faculty to meet Sen. Seliger and to demonstrate all the exciting projects
and initiatives taking place inside our classrooms,” Blinn College
District President and CEO Dr. Mary Hensley said. “On behalf of everyone at Blinn, I
would like to thank Sen. Seliger for his time, and we look forward to
welcoming him back. Believe it or not, his visit only touched the surface of
everything Blinn College has to offer.”
