Cantu, STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE  \nWynn Rosser, PhD, COMMISSIONER OF HIGHER EDUCATION  \nAustin Houston Midland Austin  \nEl Paso  \nDallas Victoria Missouri City College Station  \nAgency Purpose  \nOur purpose is to strengthen Texas through higher education. By making higher education accessible to a wide range of people, we can ensure Texas remains one of the world’s most innovative, valuable educational systems. By bringing together data, policymakers, and institutions, we can inform sensible policies that make a difference and make education beyond high school available to every person in our state. When we do that, we will improve lives, communities, and our shared economy.  \nAgency Vision  \nThe THECB will be recognized as an international leader in developing and implementing innovative higher education policy to accomplish our mission.  \nAgency Philosophy  \nThe THECB will promote access to and success in quality higher education across the state with the conviction that access and success without quality is mediocrity and that quality without access and success is unacceptable.  \nThe THECB’s core values are:  \nAccountability: We hold ourselves responsible for our actions and welcome every opportunity to educate stakeholders about our policies, decisions, and aspirations.  \nEfficiency: We accomplish our work using resources in the most effective manner. Collaboration: We develop partnerships that result in student success and a highly qualified, globally competent workforce.  \nExcellence: We strive for excellence in all our endeavors.  \nThe THECB does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, or disability in employment or the provision of services.  \nPlease cite this report as follows: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
