Staff, Faculty and Students, We Welcome You i Beyond junior College Chancellor Views Role Of UTPB By DR CHARLES LeMAlSTRE The University of Texas of The Permian Basin was designed to serve the growing educational needs of West Texas beyond the junior college level. While maintaining the traditional values of higher education, it is also most relevant to the demands of our modern society, Specially designed courses' law enforcement and airport management are examples of this new untraditional approach.

Also significant, is the fact that the citizens of the Permian Basin have been most instrumental in backing this new university. The Founders Library Book Drive represents the unique experience in Library development at the upper-level university. Without broad-based citizen support for this project, there is a question in my mind as to whether or not we would have had an adequately sufficient library at this new school this-early. In short, the coming together of the West Texas community in support of The University of Texas of the Permian Basin was an absolute must if UTPB was to open on time. For this support, we will always be grateful.
