Dr. Brian McCall, Chancellor
Texas State University System
Introduction by Lion Lillie Gilligan

As chancellor of the TSUS, Dr. McCall oversees the oldest and third-largest university system in Texas, comprising eight universities and colleges with more than 72,000 students and 15,000 faculty and staff.

Come listen to Dr. McCall as he discusses the current state of higher education and the development plans of the Texas State University system.

Special Guests:

We will also be hosting, as our special guests, thirty international campers who are participating in the 2011 Julien C. Hyer Youth Camp coordinated by the Lions J.C. Hyer organization in Dallas, Texas.

The Youth Camp and Exchange Program was inaugurated in 1961 by the International Lions Organization and the Julien C. Hyer Camp has been serving the world since 1973. The camp charge from the International Lions Club is to promote understanding and tolerance within this international group of young adults (ages 17 to 20) by experiencing first hand the culture and the family setting of the host country. The camp runs for 5 weeks with visits in the Dallas area, Denton, Austin, and Lubbock, Texas.

During the Austin leg of their visit to the USA, our club provides a home for the campers during their stay and an agenda that shows off the ‘Heart of Texas’ to these leaders of tomorrow. The Austin leg of the five-week camp emphasizes the importance of the government, education and culture institutions of Texas that we feel can only be done in the Austin area.
