Welcome to your next chapter at UTRGV 🧡🌞

Students from South Texas ISD are kicking off their summer with the Summer Bridge program at UTRGV.

We hope your summer is full of growth, new experiences, and a strong start on your college journey!

Dear Campus Community:

We are writing to inform you that a water leak under the Texas Southmost College cooling plant is affecting the chilled water supply to portions of the north side of the Brownsville Campus.

Currently, the outage is affecting the following buildings, which may have limited or no air conditioning until the issue is resolved:

Student Union

Life and Health Sciences Building

Biomedical Research and Health Building (Vivarium and the IT Data Room are operational)

All other Brownsville Campus buildings are not affected.

Facilities teams continue to assess the situation and identify temporary cooling options where possible. At this time, we do not yet know how this outage may affect campus operations beginning Monday. We will provide additional information as it becomes available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

🌊✨ From the Rio Grande Valley to the cover of Science
A study led by UTRGV Division of Research Dr. Tian Y. D**g has earned global recognition. The research was featured on the cover of Science and marked the first time UTRGV is listed as the lead institution in the prestigious journal.

📊 The discovery? Even the complex, ever-changing shapes of river deltas follow a surprisingly simple, predictable pattern—a breakthrough that could transform how we understand and protect these vital ecosystems.

🌎 Why is it important? River deltas support millions of people, sustain wildlife, and face growing threats from sea-level rise. This research offers a new framework to help guide restoration and coastal management worldwide.

“This shows that impactful, world-class science can be led right here in South Texas,” D**g said.
