Project to Help Vaqueros as the University Embarks on New Era
Edinburg, Texas – Collegiate Consulting recently developed a strategic initiative and benchmarking study for the University of Texas-Pan American athletic department as the institution transitions into the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley era. UTRGV, formed from the consolidation of UTPA and the University of Texas–Brownsville, is set to commence in Fall 2015, a marquee chapter in the history, and future, of the institution.
Collegiate Consulting’s study reviewed the past and current position that UTPA has within the Western Athletic Conference and NCAA Division I athletics. Strategic goals and initiatives were outlined as they related to the current and future athletic program’s competitiveness, academics, budgets, revenue, compliance, marketing and facilities.
Collegiate Consulting also outlined recommendations in integrating the University of Texas-Brownsville into the new University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley athletic program. The strategic plan provides for areas of opportunity, including marketing and branding with UTB.
“Collegiate Consulting’s study will help us identify our strengths, weaknesses, and have definitive goals as we move forward as a program,” said University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley’s Director of Athletics Chris King. “Our athletic department is excited about the recent changes that have occurred, and are looking forward to the possibilities that the integration into the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley holds for our athletic program and institution.”
