The Institutional Advancement team is a group of professionals who work with the University's many constituencies - our students and their families, our alumni, our donors and potential donors, the media, and all others who we want to reach with information about the University.

This is an exciting time for The University of Texas of the Permian Basin with many dynamic new projects underway.

Some of UTPB's most recent milestones include:

• In January, the UTPB School of Business was accredited by the AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Less than one-third of U.S. business school programs and only 15 percent of business school programs worldwide meet the rigorous standards for AACSB accreditation.
• The latest official enrollment of 3,446 included students from 161 Texas Counties, and 500 living on campus.
• The Texas Legislature approved $99 million dollars in tuition revenue bonds for the UTPB for construction of a Performing Arts Center to be built at the UTPB Center for Energy & Economic Diversification (CEED) and a Science & Technology Complex on campus.
