“Victoria currently and in the future is going to play a pivotal economic role for our entire state,” said Governor Abbott. “It is essential that we as a state work in collaboration with Victoria to ensure that they have the university system that will provide the well- trained and well-educated workforce needed for the next decade and the next century.
