THE BATTALIOI
Rescuers honored
STUART VILLANUEVA
BATTALION
The Board of Regents honored 19 students
involved in the rescue of five people in
Galveston Bay last month. Students from
Texas A&M and University of Texas sailing
teams were preparing to race when a van
plunged into the water and sank 10 feet
Diving into the water and forming at
assembly line, students pulled two adult
women, two children and an infant from
the van alive.
Center
Continued from page 1
Texas is the fourth largest exporter to
the European Union, exporting $8.9
billion in goods, which supported
more than 77,000 jobs in 1999.
The center hopes to establish a
closer working relationship with
other European Unions across the
nation.
“We are interested in academics
to better prepare the students coming
out of our school for the future,”
Laubsher said. “We hope to promote
a greater understanding for Texas
citizens and people throughout the
United States by providing outreach
activities and research.”
Research performed by Texas
A&M faculty, graduate students and
visiting scholars will generate new
insights into policy issues affecting
the European Union and United
States, he added. Research includes
studies of interdisciplinary policy
issues related to European integra
tion and an annual symposium on
policy issues affecting the United
States and European Union rela
tions.
Speakers from the United States,
Brussels, Belgium, Germany and
France discussed the “US-EU
Cooperation in the Aftermath of
Sept. 11: Terrorism and Security" at
the first center symposium, which
took place at the Presidential
Conference Center March 20 and 21.
The center’s primary goal is to
promote greater understanding of
the European Union and related
issues through curriculum develop
ment, research and outreach.
Assistant Director of the center
Lucero Carranza told 77/c Battalion
earlier this year.
The center will work with the
George Bush School of Government
and Public Service, the Center for
International Business Studies in the
Lowry Mays College of Business
and the Colleges of Agriculture,
Architecture, Engineering and
Liberal Arts.
The center will also play a role in
a new international business certifi
cation program.
“We hope to enhance academics
between the EU and other EUs,”
Laubsher said. “We hope that stu
dents will be able to use this venue
as well. Hopefully we’ll be able to
help students to be better prepared
for professional careers with other
European Unions.”
