More from Elias:
“I would like to facilitate learning not only from the financial viewpoint of reducing the book cost burden on the students, but also by providing a wide range of resources that go beyond the physical books or readings and extend to audiovisual materials, as well as through the immense availability of resources and services the UTSA Libraries provide. I encourage free textbook adoption among my colleagues as I think it would benefit us all: the MPA program students (through sustained enrollment and retention) and alumni already working in the public sector who may be invited back as guest speakers to share their experiences of how the MPA program at UTSA has been a great asset in their education and professional careers.”
