Two major initiatives announced between the City of Houston and Texas Southern University


LAW DAWG

TSU LOVE
The first is a proposed plan to have Texas Southern University as one of the primary educational leaders at the new Houston Spaceport at Ellington Airport. The new facility for Texas Southern University’s Aviation Science Management program at Ellington Airport will include a 30,000 square foot educational building with state-of-the-art classrooms and labs, a new 30,000 square foot hangar that would house 15 new TSU training aircraft, a 10,000 square foot hangar to be used for drone and vertical takeoff and landing education, research, and more.

Mayor Turner also announced that the City of Houston is contributing $1 million in seed money to create the new TSU/Houston Center for Transformative Health

The new TSU/Houston Center for Transformative Health, a collaborative partnership between TSU and the Houston Health Department, will address health disparities and inequities among the city’s underserved population by supporting critical areas through expertise, capacity building, training service, research and more. This initiative also aligns with the Mayor’s Office of Complete Communities and complements the City’s efforts through the Health Equity Resource (HER) Task Force to support these targeted neighborhoods.
 
Mayor Turner has done a great job centering and uplifting TSU. I hate to see him leave because no mayor has helped out TSU as much as he did. There's a long list of favors he did for TSU in office.

I'm so glad we hired him to be on the law faculty lol
