Sylvester Turner@SylvesterTurner·

.@SisterCitiesInt held their annual conference awards gala at @TheMarquisHOU. It was great to catch up with my friend, former #txlege colleague, and former President of the United States George W. Bush.

He shared great wisdom during the fireside chat and provided much humor.

Roundup: We find faculty diversity has hit a wall
