UTRGV helps high school students get a jump on college credits by allowing them to enroll, free of charge, in its Dual Enrollment Program . During the fall 2017 semester, 576 students were enrolled in the program; but that number jumped to 722 for the fall 2018 semester. A study by The UT System looked at dual credit programs and found a student’s exposure to one dual credit course can have a significant impact on his or her academic success. Pictured are former UTRGV dual enrollment students, from left: Elias Frias (Brownsville Early College High School, now a senior at UTRGV), Emma Medellin (Early College High School in Harlingen, now a UTRGV graduate), Mayra Tovar (Brownsville Early College High School, now a UTRGV graduate), Jaime Fonseca (Brownsville Early College High School, now a senior at UTRGV), Magdalena McKula (Brownsville Early College High School, now a UTRGV graduate), Enrique Granados (Trinidad Garza Early College High School in Dallas, now a senior at UTRGV) and Nallely Flores (Brownsville Early College High School, now a senior at UTRGV).

The UTRGV Superhero Project, aimed at creating a safer campus, has been given the Best Practices/Institutional Impact Award from the National Behavioral Intervention Team Association. The project is an active bystander program designed to encourage students to look out for one another. To help spread the word, peer leaders – like Ceilhy Garcia and Mario Flores, shown here – make presentations to groups, host events, partner with other UTRGV departments and participate in events hosted by other organizations.
