The Texas A&M University System was one of many higher education systems to give testimony to the Texas House of Representatives' Higher Education Committee on Monday. James Hallmark, vice chancellor for academic affairs for the Texas A&M University System, spoke on behalf of the System that contains 11 universities ranging in size from 2,500 to 70,000 students with a total enrollment of degree-seeking students of over 152,000. Hallmark laid out three initiatives for the committee. The first was the System's commitment to preparing future teachers by focusing on 'assuring that our teachers are consistently well-prepared, stay in the field longer and meet the needs of our Pre-K through 12 students and our state,' he said.
