Moving from aspiration to trans-formational action, University of Houston System Chancellor Renu Khator has announced the appoint-ment of a Sugar Land Transition Steering Committee that will de-fine pathways for the transition of the University of Houston-Victo-ria (UHV) and the UH Sugar Land campus.

The committee and work groups, which will include high-profile educators, alumni, community and corporate leaders, and elected of-ficials, will work to fulfill three overarching goals the UH System has established for the transition:

• To support UHV’s goal of be-coming a destination university

• To build a viable branch cam-pus of UH in Sugar Land

• To explore an organizational arrangement that meets the UH System’s need to serve its extend-ed communities with speed, inno-vation and flexibility

The transition committee is headed by Dana Rooks, dean of libraries and Elizabeth D. Rock-well Chair at the University of Houston Libraries, who will serve as executive planning director. The structure includes a steering committee, leadership committee and four work groups representing UH Victoria, chaired by Charles Alcorn, director of corporate and foundation relations at UHV; UH Sugar Land, chaired by Robert McPherson, dean of the College of Education at UH; University of Houston, chaired by Earl Smith, interim chief health officer at UH; and the UH System, chaired by William Staples, president of UH-Clear Lake. Richie Hunter, associ-ate vice chancellor/associate vice

president for University marketing and communication, will lead stra-tegic communications.

Appointment of the committee follows recent action by the UH System Board of Regents autho-rizing UH to expand programs in Sugar Land and relocate a large segment of its College of Technol-ogy to the UH Sugar Land cam-pus. The board action came at the recommendation of a UH Sugar Land Task Force report that set in motion plans to make UH the sole UH System institution delivering programs at the Sugar Land Cam-

pus.As UH expands programs at

Sugar Land, UH-Victoria and UH-Clear Lake will incrementally cease delivery of their courses at the Sugar Land campus. The exist-ing nursing program that UH-Vic-toria has offered at UH Sugar Land will be transferred to UH and be-come part of the newly organized UH Health Science Center.

“The UH System has a unique opportunity to re-evaluate its over-all mission of providing affordable education to as many students as

NALEO Educational Fund Releases Latino Electorate Projections and New Report on the Potential Impact of Voting Laws in 2014 and Beyond

Six months before Election Day, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund released turnout projections for Latino voters this November

and the findings of a new policy paper assessing the potential im-pact of voting law changes on the Latino electorate in 2014 and beyond. The event, which also included the release of a national

poll focused on voting rights sup-port, took place this morning at the National Press Club in Wash., D.C.

“Our democracy thrives when all its citizens are able to partici-pate fully in the nation’s political system,” said Arturo Vargas, NA-LEO Educational Fund Executive Director. “We need to be promot-ing policies that make voting and registering to vote more accessi-ble, and not less accessible, to the nation’s second largest population group and all qualified U.S. citi-zens.”

The report entitled “Latinos and the Voting Rights Act (VRA): Pro-tecting Our Nation’s Democracy Then and Now” focuses on the potential impact of the bipartisan Voting Rights Amendment Act (VRAA) legislation on restoring protections for Latino voters and the strength of the VRA follow-ing the blow dealt by the Supreme Court in its 2013 decision in Shel-by County v. Holder.

The new analysis from NALEO Educational Fund’s report found the following:

• Nearly seven million Latinos eligible to vote residing in juris-dictions that were previously sub-ject to preclearance pre-Shelby

Co. are currently without proac-tive protections under the VRA.

• VRAA legislation would re-store preclearance protections to more than 4.5 million Latinos eligible to vote - nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of those covered be-fore Shelby Co.

• Under the VRAA, there are four states that would be required to submit changes to voting proce-dures for preclearance review prior to implementation.

• These states, which include Ga., La., Miss. and Texas, would be required to submit changes to voting procedures for preclearance

for at least 10 years.• An additional 24 jurisdictions

in 12 states could also become subject to preclearance upon pas-sage of the VRAA; approximately 140,000 Latinos eligible to vote reside in these 24 jurisdictions.

In addition, the report found that the VRAA would provide new narrowly-tailored voting rights protections including:

• More than 14 million Latinos eligible to vote who live in ju-risdictions that provide Spanish-language assistance under Section 203 of the VRA would benefit

New report finds VRAA legislation would restore protections to 4.5 million Latinos who lost proactive protections under the VRA post-Shelby Co.; More than 7.8 million Latino voters are expected to head to the polls this November

Students from UHV’s first freshman class ready to graduate

Ashley Winegeart isn’t afraid of being first.

On Nov. 19, 2009, she became the first freshman to sign with the University of Houston-Victoria softball team. The Corpus Christi native was one of UHV’s first freshman starting classes in fall 2010, when the university began offering classes for freshmen and sophomores. Soon she will be one of the university’s first graduates who have attended UHV all four years of college.

“It’s pretty cool to be a part of history,” Winegeart said. “It’s grat-ifying to be one of the first students to attend UHV for four years.”

A total of seven UHV students who started at the university in fall 2010 have applied to gradu-ate on May 10. Joining Winegeart are Isaac Babalola and Kristina Droz, both of Missouri City; Me-gan Carter of Woodsboro; Amber Hermes of Hallettsville; Danielle

Mapps of Fresno; and Vanessa Plasencia of Rosenberg.

Umaima Mal of Denison be-came the first freshman who start-ed in fall 2010 to graduate. She fin-ished her degree in summer 2013. Four other students who started in fall 2010 graduated in December. They are Marley Moehrig of Vic-toria, Linda Nguyen of Houston, Danielle Delgado of San Antonio and Lauren Brister of Palacios.

Another 49 students who started in fall 2010 are still enrolled at UHV and working toward their degrees.

UHV will hold two graduation ceremonies in Victoria. Both will take place in Faith Family Church, 2002 E. Mockingbird Lane, the largest indoor facility available in Victoria. The 9 a.m. ceremony will be for graduates of the schools of Arts & Sciences and Education & Human Development. The 1 p.m. ceremony will be for the schools of Business Administration and Nursing. Victoria Mayor Paul Po-lasek will deliver the keynote ad-dress at both ceremonies.

UHV was an upper-level institu-tion for 37 years after its founding in 1973. Freshman recruitment ef-forts began after Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed House Bill 1056 in June of 2009 to allow UHV to admit underclassmen for the first time in fall 2010.

“When I first chose UHV, I liked

that I could be part of the first group of freshmen and start some-thing new,” Babalola said. “Now, being part of the first freshmen to graduate is a big milestone. I can say I was there from the very be-ginning.”

Jeffrey Cass, UHV provost and vice president for academic af-fairs, said commencement will mark another banner day on the university’s road to being a desti-nation university.

“I’m proud of these students for all they have accomplished the past four years,” he said. “It takes

courage to choose to come to a university that had never admit-ted underclassmen before. In the classroom, sports fields and stu-dent organizations, these students have displayed their intellect, tal-ent and perseverance. It’s an honor to bestow them with diplomas.”

Babalola said the last four years have gone by fast. He lived in Vic-toria for the first three but moved back to his hometown of Missouri City for his senior year. He takes classes online and at UH Sugar Land, where UHV offers many of the programs.

“Living on campus during my freshman year was a big change because it was my first time away from home,” Babalola said. “It required me to be more indepen-

dent and more disciplined with my time. During my sophomore and junior years, I became wiser about college. My professors and class-mates have all made an impact on me. I don’t regret anything. The college experience at UHV has made me a better person.”

Babalola said his grades were a work in progress the first year at UHV.

“In the beginning, I was stuck, but I learned to lean on the re-sources given, such as the Aca-demic Center and my professors,” he said. “What I love about UHV is the faculty and staff really care about students’ futures. They en-courage me to push myself to be better inside and outside of the classroom.”

Winegeart also said one of her favorite aspects of attending UHV was getting to know her profes-sors. She will earn a Bachelor of Business Administration with a health care administration concen-tration. Her next step is graduate school at Texas Women’s Uni-versity in Denton, where she will

pursue dual master’s degrees in business administration and health systems management.

Winegeart has won a number of academic of accolades, includ-ing twice being named to the Col-lege Sports Information Directors of America All-District team. She was chosen as a 2013 Daktronics-National Association of Intercol-legiate Athletics Scholar Athlete. On the field, UHV’s starting short-stop is the university career leader in games played, games started, at bats and walks. Winegeart was named the UHV Softball Player of the Year during Monday’s Jaguar athletic banquet.

Winegeart said it took discipline and time management skills to excel in the classroom before and during softball season. She credits UHV’s softball coaches for em-phasizing academics. Carter and Droz also are softball players.

“It’s nice to be able to walk across the stage with my team-mates,” Winegeart said. “Our soft-ball team works as a family.”

Babalola will earn a Bachelor of Business Administration May 10. He plans on enrolling in UHV’s Master of Business Administration program. While he isn’t sure what type of business career is right for him, he’s confident that the UHV faculty and his fellow students will help him figure it out.

“If you are disciplined and do

the work, then UHV’s professors are happy to help you understand the material,” Babalola said. “My classmates also had an impact on my education. Life is all about re-lationships. When you have those connections, windows of oppor-tunities are open for jobs, intern-ships and volunteer programs.”

Winegeart said Alex Gonzalez and Brenda Leal-Flores, two high school seniors from her alma ma-ter, Corpus Christi Carroll High School, are coming to play softball at UHV next season. As the fifth freshman class, they will have a better idea about what life is like at UHV compared with fall 2010 when Winegeart and Babalola ar-rived.

“I tell high school students that UHV is a very friendly univer-sity,” Winegeart said. “Professors are willing to get to know you, work with you and help you suc-ceed.”

It’s unsettling to think of our homes as targets but that’s ex-actly how criminals see them. It is never too late to start improving your home security and make your home a hard target.

Now what?Let’s start with curb appeal.

Is your home appealing to a bur-glar? Are the windows and doors blocked by overgrown vegetation? If so, it’s time for some trimming. Make sure the windows and doors are visible from the street. A good rule of thumb is the three seven rule. Your shrubs should be no taller than three feet and the low-est limbs of your trees should be no lower than seven feet. If you just can’t bear to trim your shrubs down that low at least clean out the bottom foot or so, in order to see the feet of someone who may be hiding behind them.

How about lighting? Your newly trimmed shrubs and trees make the house more visible during the day but night changes things up a bit. At a minimum, you need to have lights with at least 60 watt bulbs at every entrance to your house (anyone standing there needs to be clearly visible). If you want more illumination, motion detector or dusk to dawn lights strategically placed for maximum efficiency are a good investment.

At this point we can move on to doors and windows. All exte-rior doors, including the door that leads into the house from the ga-rage, should be solid wood or met-al clad at least 1 3/8” thick. They should be equipped with deadbolt locks that have, at minimum, a 1” bolt. If there is glass within 40” of the lock, a double cylinder dead-bolt (keyed on both sides) should

be used.Most door hardware is installed

with ¾” screws. One of the cheap-est and most effective ways to strengthen a door is simply to re-place all of the ¾” screws with 3” screws. This increases the strength of the door as the screws now pen-etrate the door frame, not just the trim.

You may also consider a door viewer (peephole). A wide angle

viewer with a minimum of 180 degree visibility is recommended.

Regarding windows, in addi-tion to a working latch, a second-ary lock should be added. This can be as simple as a wooden dowel in the track or as elaborate as burglar bars.

If your home has a sliding glass door it requires a secondary lock as well. Like windows, a dowel in the track is all that is needed. Also, to prevent lifting the door out of the track, a screw, inserted into the header track just far enough to al-low the door to slide will suffice.

If you are concerned about the security of your home, the Victoria Police Department provides free security surveys. We can check your current security and offer suggestions for improvement.

A NALEO survey of more than 1000 individuals in 10 states (Ariz., Fla., Ga., Miss., N.C., Ohio, Pa., S.C., Texas, and Va.) found that 83 percent of likely voters agree that having a fully functioning VRA is critical to making sure every American’s voting rights are pro-tected. A majority of likely voters polled, including 63 percent of Re-publicans, also rejected the notion that there is no longer a need for a law protecting the rights of voters in this country. Full poll results can be found here.

As the Latino population be-comes a larger segment of the electorate, it is increasingly impor-tant for Latinos to be able to make their voices heard at the ballot box without confronting discrimina-tory barriers or obstacles. In the 2010 mid-term Congressional elections, the Latino electorate played a critical role, helping de-termine the outcome of U.S. Sen-ate races in Colo. and Nev. This November, Latinos are once again posed to play a decisive role. NA-LEO Educational Fund projects that 7.8 million Latinos will cast ballots in Election 2014, account-ing for nearly 8 percent of the na-tion’s voters.

Vargas went on to say, “In the lead up to the election, NALEO Educational Fund will be hard at work ensuring that Latino vot-ers have the information they need to cast ballots on November 4th. The bilingual operators of our toll-free voter information hotline, 888-VE-Y-VOTA, will continue to serve as a resource to any voter with questions or concerns about any aspect of the electoral pro-cess, 12 hours per day, 7 days per week.”
