UT Tyler Unveils Plans for the Future

TYLER — UT Tyler has begun working on its master plan for the future, which lets university officials look 20 years ahead. Our news partner KETK reports it was introduced at Friday’s convocation. As part of the plan, the university has already started the Soules College of Business — and has requested state funds for a new college of nursing. UT Tyler President Dr. Michael Tidwell adds that the center of campus will become a “campus green plaza” and parking will be moved to the outer areas of the campus. Tidwell says it’s first and foremost about the students, their parents, and those relying on the university to train the next generation of entrepreneurs, physicians, lawyers, and teachers.
