Next year, more freshmen will benefit from AVID’s tools at UTPB.  It is another building block that faculty at UTPB can offer students to help them be successful in their college careers, and ultimately, lead productive lives, explains Lanita Akins, one of the first two AVID instructors.

Work is progressing smoothly for the Science & Technology Complex on the main campus. Since all slabs have been poured on the science wing, structural steel for the roof framing is being placed. On the technology wing, forming is being erected for the structural concrete slab for the second floor. When finished, the building will house classrooms, multiple laboratories including two large demonstration labs, a 200-seat lecture hall, and a state-of-the-art Data Communications Teaching Lab for undergraduate and graduate students.
